[Am]
Well, the wind that is howling, the storm it shakes, feel like I'm lying on a bed of snakes [D] I've been smacked all around.
My hands belong [Am] to you, [D]
[C] but if you'll be my enemy, [G] I'll be your enemy.
[Am] My [D]
[Am] brain's in disgrace, cause it won't keep still.
Shady white curtains is making me ill, [D] my shackles and irons were all forced and signed [Am] by you.
[D] [C] Well, if you'll be my enemy, [G] I'll be your [Am] enemy.
I got a bucket full of Babylon, I got a hat full of land, I'm gonna put them in a gunman.
Well, if you'll be my enemy, I'll be your enemy.
Cause you [D] stole all my friends and you gave me the buffalo [Am]
blues.
[D] Well, [C] if you'll be my enemy, [B] I'll be your [Am] enemy.
Malice goons on my land, thieves on my turf, Nazis in the basement, digging up the earth, they were [D] all set by someone, obviously [Am] you.
[D] Well, [C] if you'll be my enemy, [G] be your enemy.
[Am]
I'm suffering from a sickness that will not let me sleep, I've been stripped so numb that I can't even sleep.
[D] You clipped my wings and you coated my shoes with [Am] glue.
[D] Well, [C] if you'll be my enemy, [G] I'll be your enemy.
[Am]
From the rim of your glasses, nails on your toes, scales on your skin to the stains on your clothes, you're gonna [D] make me have to do something that I do not want [Am] to do.
[D] But if [C] you will be my enemy, [G] I will be [Am] yours too.
I'm nailed to the floor, [A] I feel on an unknown door.
There's a gun in my back, there's a blade in my throat.
I keep finding hate mail in the pockets of my clothes.
I've been trying to grow, I've been doing my heels.
I've been walking in the hills, [Am] I've been walking in the fields.
I don't want my gut to speak, I don't want my gut to rest.
I will put my soul and my life to the test.
[D] I will put right this disgrace, I will rearrange [Am] you.
[D] Because if you'll [C] be my enemy, [G] I'll be your enemy.
[Am]
[D] Well, if [C] you'll be my enemy, [G] I'll be your [Am] enemy.
[D] [C] Be my enemy.
[G] Yeah!
[A]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[C] Yeah!
[G] Yeah!
[Am] [A]
