Chorus: 

Dm 
   Primitives dress in feathers and masks 
Dm 
   to scare away their enemies 
Dm                                       
   The frightening thing is not dying 
Dm 
   The frightening thing is not living 


Dm 
   Scientists guess which is worse we will ask 
Dm 
   the medicine or the disease 
Dm                                      
   The frightening thing is not dying 
Dm 
   The frightening thing is not living 


Dm 
   There's an old man living on the edge of town 
C          Dm 
   edge of town 
Dm 
   With a skull in his window and the shades pulled down 
C                Dm 
   shades pulled down 
Dm        F                        Dm        Bb 
   And he laughs at fortune and he laughs at fame 
C            Dm 
   laughs at fame 
Dm        F                        Dm        Bb 
   And he laughs at scandal and he laughs at shame 
C            Dm 
   laughs at shame 


Chorus 


Dm 
   There's a young girl living on the edge of town 
C          Dm 
   edge of town 
Dm 
   With a light in her window and her hair falls down 
C             Dm 
   hair falls down 
Dm         F                      Dm       Bb 
   And she loves me crazy and she loves me wild 
C           Dm 
   loves me wild 
Dm         F                      Dm     Bb 
   And she loves me tender like a lonely child 
C         Dm 
   lonely child
