To warm the frozen fever
Em
that was eatin' at my soul.

D
To keep the chilly wind off my guitar.
G
My thirsty wanted whiskey,
C
D
G
but my hungry needed beans.
C
It had been a month of paydays

since I'd heard that eagle scream.
C
D
So with a stomach full of empty
In a pocket full of dreams,
Em
C
I left my pride
D
and stepped inside a bar.
Em
Actually, I guess you could
C
call it a tavern.
Cigarette smoke through the ceiling,
D
sawdust on the floor,
G
friendly shadows.
I saw that there was just one old man
C
G
sitting at the bar.
And the mirror,
could see him checking out
D
me and my guitar.
C
And he turned and said,
D
come up here, boy,
G
Em
and show us who you are.
C
I said, I'm dry.
D
He bought me a beer.
G
He nodded at my guitar.
He said, it's a tough life, ain't it?
I just looked at him.
D
He said, you ain't makin' any money,
are you, boy?
I said, mister,
Em
C

Need a smile.
D
He said, let me see that guitar.

D

The things that you are sayin'

Who do you think's gonna hear?
G
And if you should die, explain it how
D
C
The things that they complain about
G
The things that could be changing
D
G
Who do you think's gonna care?
D
G
D
There were other lonely singers
C
G
In a world turned up blind
C
G
D
Crucified by what they hadn't shown
G
And their voices have been scattered
C
by the swirling winds of time
G
Cause the truth remains
D
G
that no one wants to know
The old man was a stranger,
C
G
but I'd heard his song before
C
Bb
Back before failure had me locked
D
out of both sides of the door
C
D
Well, no one stood behind me
Em
but my shadow on the floor
C
And lonesome was
D
more than a state of mind
G
You see, the devil,
C
G
he haunts the hungry men
If you don't want to join him,
D
you got to beat him
C
I ain't saying I beat the devil,
D
Em
but I did drink his beer for nothing,
C
D
an d I stole that son of a
G
D
G
bitch's song.
And you can still hear me singing to you,
C
the people that you don't listen to,
That I am safe
D

G
And I guess I'll die explaining how
C
The things that they complain about
G
Are things they could be changing
D
G
Hoping someone's gonna care
C
D
Well, I was born a lonely singer
C
And I'm bound to die the same
G
C
But I've got a fiend to
G
D
hunger in my soul
G
And if I never have a nip,
C
I won't ever die ashamed
G
Cause I don't believe
D
G
D
Em
that no one wants to know
C
Yeah, I don't believe
D
G

G
that no one wants to know
