[Verse 1:]

Em           C/G           G           D
It's hard to say, that I'm back on a straight line,

Em         C/G        G              D
You see my path is in fact, just a fault line.

Em         C/G                 G            D
It's in my blood it's in my lungs, and it won't die!

Em            C/G                G            D
I fight these words, I bite my tongue so I don't lie.


[Pre-Chorus:]

C/G                                                G      D
Though it's me to blame, there is no more shame in me, in me.

C/G
I just feel the same, immune to all this pain,

         G                  D              C/G
And the scars don't write a song for me at all.


[Chorus:]

       Em         C/G          G              D
I am a stone, unaffected, rain Hell down onto me!

          Em        C/G           G              D
Flesh and bone, unaffected, your fool I will not be.

       Em         C/G          G              D
I am a stone, unaffected, rain Hell down onto me!

          Em        C/G           G              D
Flesh and bone, unaffected, your fool I will not be.


[Verse 2:]

Em         C/G       G              D
I tried to see and believe in the short-sight.

Em         C/G         G          D
Accept the burn of a vain and a half-life.

Em          C/G                 G               D
And how you rest your faith in these for a lifetime

Em          C/G            G             D
The hollow lie against my hope that I won't buy.


[Pre-chorus:]

C/G                                                G      D
Though it's me to blame, there is no more shame in me, in me.

C/G
I just feel the same, immune to all you say,

        G                    D             C/G
And the scars don't write a song for me at all.

         G                   D             C/G
No, your tears won't line a path for me to crawl.


[Chorus:]

       Em         C/G          G              D
I am a stone, unaffected, rain Hell down onto me!

          Em        C/G           G              D
Flesh and bone, unaffected, your fool I will not be.

       Em         C/G          G              D
I am a stone, unaffected, rain Hell down onto me!

          Em        C/G           G              D
Flesh and bone, unaffected, your fool I will not be.


[Bridge:]

D                         C/G
The waters rise above my eyes,

D                        G               C/G
I will breathe it in and go out with the tide.

D                              C/G
And when you think this is the end,

D                             G             C/G
You will find me there, where I have always been.


[Chorus:]  (let each chord ring)

       Em         C/G          G              D
I am a stone, unaffected, rain Hell down onto me!

          Em        C/G           G              D
Flesh and bone, unaffected, your fool I will not be.

 (back to palm mute)

       Em         C/G          G              D
I am a stone, unaffected, rain Hell down onto me!

          Em        C/G           G              D
Flesh and bone, unaffected, your fool I will not be.

       Em         C/G          G              D
I am a stone, unaffected, rain Hell down onto me!

          Em        C/G           G              D
Flesh and bone, unaffected, your fool I will not be.


       Em        C/G        G        D
I Am A stone,

       Em        C/G        G        D       Em
I am a stone.
