[Verse 1]
[D]A man walks down the street
He [Em]says, "Why am I [A]soft in the middle, now?
[D]Why am I soft in the middle?
[Em]The rest of my l[A]ife is so hard
[D]I need a photo-opportunity
[Em]I want a shot [A]at redemption
[D]Don't want to end up a cartoon
In a [Em]cartoon [A]graveyard"
[D]Bonedigger, Bonedigger
[Em]Dogs in the moon[A]light
[D]Far away in my wel[Em]l-lit door
[A]Mr. Bee[D]rbelly, Beerbelly
[Em]Get these mutts aw[A]ay from me
You [D]know, I don't find this stuff
a[Em]musing anymore
[A]

[Chorus 1]
[D]If you'll be my [A]body[G]guard

[Verse 2]
[D]A man walks down the street
He [Em]says, "Why am I [A]short of attention?
Got [D]a short little span of attention
[Em]And, whoa, my [A]nights are so long
[D]Where's my wife and family?
[Em]What if I die [A]here?
[D]Who'll be my role model
[Em]Now that my [A]role model is [D]gone, gone?"
He [Em]ducked back down the [A]alley
With [D]some roly-poly little [Em]bat-faced [A]girl
All a[D]long along,
There were [Em]incidents and [A]accidents
There [D]were hints and alle[Em]gations[A]

[Chorus 2]
[D]If you'll be my [A]body[G]guard
[Em]I can be your lo[A]ng los[D]t pal
[A][G][Em][A][D]

[Verse 3]
[D]A man walks down the street
It's [Em]a street in a str[A]ange world
[D]Maybe it's the third world
[Em]Maybe it's his first[A] time around
[D]Doesn't speak the language
[Em]He holds no cu[A]rrency
[D]He is a foreign man
[Em]He is surr[A]ounded by the so[D]und, the sound
[Em]Cattle in the mark[A]etplace
[D]Scatterings and orp[Em]hanages
[A]He looks arou[D]nd, around
He sees [Em]angels in the [A]architecture
[D]Spinning in infinity
He says, [Em]"Amen and [A]Hallelujah!"
