Em               C
   Isn't anybody home in here?
G                       D
It's getting cold and I just don't care
   Em         C                     G     D
So I'm gonna find something else to do
Em                         C
   Just take a really good look at me
G              D                   Em
  I'm 22 and I still don't see why
           C                 G       D
All of you people can't get along anymore
Em                            C
  Cause falling down ain't so hard to do
G                       D
Your only crutch be the bottle of brew
   Em         C                     G      D
So I'm gonna find something else to do, uh huh
Em                       C
  Cause if I ever was to say to you
G                          D
  All them things that you wanted me to, love
Em                  C                 G      D
   I'd have to find something else to do, uh huh

[Chorus]
G              D                Am
So I'm gonna stand here by your fire
             C          G
Cause it's a cold one tonight
                   D
I'm taking care of soulfight
Am             C       G
And you're the reason why
            D                       Am
I don't ask questions and I don't tell no lies
               C      G
And that's the reason why
                   D         Am
I'm taking care of soulfight
               C
And you're the reason why

[Verse 2]
Em                     C
   Oh my God, I almost died last night
G                      D
Wrecked my car, then I totaled my life
   Em             C                 G      D
So I'm gonna find something else to do, uh huh
Em                       C
  Cause if I ever was to say to you
G                        D
All them things that you wanted me to, love
Em                  C                 G      D
   I'd have to find something else to do, uh huh

[Chorus]

Cause it's a cold one tonight
                   D         Am
I'm taking care of soulfight
                     C      G
Babe, and you're the reason why
            D                       Am
I don't ask questions and I don't tell no lies
               C      G
And that's the reason why
                   D         Am

[Verse 3]
          Em                          C
So Mother Mary, won't you come sing a song for me
            G              D
And make it last all damn night
          Em                C
Cause you know I can't hang on and see
           G                 D
While this noose pulls me so tight
                Em                           C
Well, I've been scratchin' and bleed from my fingernails
     G                     D
Until every bit of me was gone
      Em                    C
Cause I didn't want her and I didn't need her
G                    D
  So now I leave it alone

[Chorus]
G              D                Am
So I'm gonna stand here by your fire
             C          G
Cause it's a cold one tonight
                   D         Am
I'm taking care of soulfight

And you're the reason why
               D       Am
Oh, you're the reason why
               C       G
Oh, you're the reason why
               D       Am    C
Oh, you're the reason why
