Verse 1:
D MajorD     G/DG/D      D MajorD    G/DG/D
Standing, waiting for a man to show
D MajorD     G/DG/D   D MajorD      G/DG/D
Wide eyed, one eye fixed on the door
   G+G
This waiting's killing me
   D MajorD      G/DG/D D MajorD G/DG/D
It's wearing me down
G+G
Day in, day out
  D MajorD    G/DG/D   D MajorD      G/DG/D
My feet are burning holes in the ground

E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm G+G D MajorD D MajorD G/DG/D D MajorD G/DG/D

Verse 2:
D MajorD     G/DG/D      D MajorD    G/DG/D
Darkness, warmer than a bedroom floor
D MajorD     G/DG/D      D MajorD       G/DG/D
Want someone to hold me close forever more
   G+G
I'm a sleeping dog
   D MajorD     G/DG/D
But you can't tell
   G+G
When I'm on the prowl
  D MajorD        G/DG/D
You better run like hell

  A augmentedA       G+G
You know it makes sense
         D MajorD
Don't even think about it
G+G    D MajorD
Life and death
   E minorEm              A augmentedA
Are things you just do when you're born

Chorus:
A augmentedA  G+G    D MajorD
Say fear's a man's best friend
A augmentedA  G+G    D MajorD
Say fear's a man's best friend
A augmentedA  G+G    D MajorD
Say fear's a man's best friend
  E minorEm            A augmentedA
You add it up, it brings you down
  E minorEm            A augmentedA
You add it up, it brings you down

D MajorD G/DG/D D MajorD G/DG/D

Verse 3:
D MajorD    G/DG/D      D MajorD     G/DG/D
Home is leaving like a man on the run
D MajorD     G/DG/D     D MajorD      G/DG/D
Trails leading nowhere, where to my son?
   G+G
We're already dead
   D MajorD       G/DG/D
But not yet in the ground
 G+G               D MajorD       G/DG/D
Come on, shake my helping hand I'll show you around

  A augmentedA       G+G
You know it makes sense
         D MajorD
Don't even think about it
G+G     D MajorD
Life and death
   E minorEm              A augmentedA
Are things you just do when you're born

Chorus:
A augmentedA  G+G    D MajorD
