G            B       C
My teeth are rottin' away
     Em
I've leathered all my skin
       C
And my blood is gettin' thin
       G             B           C
And my whole fuckin' character's changed
             Em
I don't know who I used to be
       C
But it certainly isn't me
    G               B           C
Any more and more I drink, I am afraid
         Em
That I'm just killin' myself
       C
Got me fearin' for my health
                G              B        C
I'm scared that Hell is just a place on Earth
      Em
And I pray to God I leave
       C           D
Before Satan pours another drink


[Chorus]
G
I'm just living like the man
Em                       B           C
I'm just living like the man on fire
G Em         B         C
I just don't care that much
G
I'm just living like the man
Em                       B          C
I'm just living like the man on fire
G            B         C
I just don't care that much


[Verse 2]
G            B             C
Combustible, confused, and free
Em
I no longer see that coast
       C
That I always used to see
      G                B        C
And I think it drifted far from me
         Em
Why am I talkin' to a ghost
          C
That I've never even seen
       G            B         C
When I haven't even heard you speak?
             Em
You said the months go by so quick
      C
Maybe you're just full of shit
             G               B          C
You'll never last, I'm sorry I just said that
      Em
Maybe life was just a bet
       C                 D
That I lost to drugs and cigarettes


[Chorus]
G
I'm just living like the man
Em                        B      C
I'm just living like the man on fire
G            B         C
I just don't care that much
G
I'm just living like the man
Em                        B      C
I'm just living like the man on fire
G            B         C
I just don't care that much


[Bridge]
Em          G      Bm         C
In my mind, I will wander and wait
Em     G        Bm         C
'Til I see your fire escape
G            B       C
My teeth are rottin' away
Em
I've leathered all my skin
       C
And my blood is gettin' thin


[Chorus]
G
I'm just living like the man
Em                       B      C
I'm just living like the man on fire
G            B         C
I just don't care that much
G
I'm just living like the man
Em                       B      C
I'm just living like the man on fire
G            B         C
I just don't care that much
