Fearful Man

C

C                  G
The magazine needs flippin’ through
F                       C
The calendar needs tearing too
F                    G           
The dry veins in the brown leaves
          C
 start to cry


C                  G
And you’ve got old man’s hands to 
weigh
F                 C
Anniversaries to celebrate
F              G                  
Purple lips to part in a heart to 
C     G
ransack


Continues after the ad
C              G
Every step you take is writ
F               C
Down in a great book you envision
F                    G           
Somewhere off in the clouds where
                  C
 they know you’re pure

G

C               G
A sick shadow is hanging low
F                             C
She holds your secret just to let it
 go
F                          G     
And you’ve never stabbed a 
              C
villain in the back before

G

                 C
You’re a fearful man
           G
Your hands shake
F                           
And your eyes dance along the 
  C
landscape
F                       G       
Looking for the next best place 
C    G
to run
       C               G
Into a ditch or a dead end
F                         C
Through the alley or out on Main
F              G           C
To the epicenter or to the sun
