Fear Is A Man's Best Friend

E        A/E           E      A/E
Standing waiting for a man to show
E          A/E     E            A/E
Wide-eyed, one eye fixed on the door
     A                          E          A/E    E   A/E
This waiting's killing me, it's wearing me down
A                  E        A/E     E            A/E
Day in day out, my feet are burning holes in the ground
 
F#m | A E | F#m | A E | E A/E | E A/E
 
Darkness warmer than a bedroom floor
Want someone to hold me close forever more
I'm a sleeping dog, but you can't tell
When I'm on the prowl you'd better run like hell

    B             A                        E
You know it makes sense, don't even think about it
A        E         F#m                            B
Life and death are things you just do when you're bored

B   A        E
Say fear's a man's best friend
B   A        E

B   A        E
Say fear's a man's best friend
    F#m                     B
You add it up it brings you down
    F#m                     B
You add it up it brings you down

Home is living like a man on the run
Trails leading nowhere, where to my son?
We're already dead, but not yet in the ground
C'mon, shake my helping hand, I'll show you around

Y'know it makes sense, don't even think about it
Life and death are things you just do when you're bored

Say fear's a man's best friend
Say fear's a man's best friend
Say fear's a man's best friend
You add it up it brings you down
You add it up it brings you down

Well, say fear's a man's best friend
Say fear's a man's best friend
Say fear's a man's best friend
Say fear's a man's best friend
Say fear's a man's best friend
Say fear's a man's best friend
Say fear's a man's best friend
Say fear's a man's best friend
Say fear's a man's best friend
