Fear Is A Mans Best Friend chords by John Cale

Tuning: EADGBE

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

Em  G  D  Em  G  D  D  G/D  D  G/D

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

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

Chorus:
A   G        D
Say fear's a man's best friend
A   G        D
Say fear's a man's best friend
A   G        D
Say fear's a man's best friend
    Em                        A
You add it up, it brings you down
    Em                        A
You add it up, it brings you down

D  G/D  D  G/D

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

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

Chorus:
A    G       D
