E            A                   E           A
Everyone who sees it puts their face in the ground
E                 A                  B           A
And when nobody's watching, they can tear it all down
E         A                E         A
Friend or foe? Cause I can be either one
E                A                B         A
But if they come at me, then they better all run

E              A           E          A
The wood's all soaking, so fire won't burn
    E        A                 B        A
Now I'd keep talking, but you never learn
    E         A                E           A
The cut's too deep, and so the wound won't heal
    E          A                   B              A          E
You won't keep nothing, you don't keep nothing by keepin' it real

Long-toothed time is marching on as I sing
Just cut me down the middle and count my rings
Can't keep nothing; best to leave it alone
You die naked and they burn up your bones

[Instrumental] (x2)
E, A, E, A
E, A, B, A

What's the point in wishing there was somewhere to go
If when you get there, you can't let anyone know
When my time comes, I won't be leaving this Earth
And what I've done for people will determine my worth
