D                  A                 Bm

That and a cold glass of beer

Bm                       E

Yeah that's why I'm here

 

And stealing coins is not really stealing

When I'm with these boys we don't share feeling

But we sure make noise

Crashing on enemy walls

We crash till it falls

 

F#m     C#m         D             C#m

And if I fall to taste the ground

F#m     C#m         D             E

And you hear that fire bell sound

 

 

      A

But don't fear

E                                          D

It's just the bullets boucing off my helmet

E                A

Don't fear, Don't fear

E                                           D

It's just the bullets boucing off my helmet

E                

Don't fear

 

 

Kindly

Keep this between you and me baby

Don't tell the papers just what I said

No just let them figure it out

What's in my head

 

Ships at bay

I tattoed an anchor right beside your name

An anchor so sure that I won't float away

It's under my uniform sleeve

It's there till I leave

 

And if I fall to taste the ground (taste the ground)

And you hear that fire bell sound

But don't fear It's just the bullets Boucing off my helmet Don't fear

Don't fear  It's just the bullets Boucing off my helmet Don't fear

Don't fear

But don't fear It's just the bullets Boucing off my helmet Don't fear

Don't fear It's just the bullets Boucing off my helmet Don't fear (Don't fear)

It's just the bullets

Boucing off my helmet

(it's just the bullets, it's just the bullets that you hear)

Don't fear

Don't fear

(Don't fear)

It's just the bullets

Boucing off my helmet

(it's just the bullets, it's just the bullets that you hear)

Don't fear

Don't fear

It just might take you

Forever to see

That you're safe and sound with me

To let the moment just hit you
               G
If the music befits you
Eb                              F

You may think that you may want to try
You want to try, try, try
To fence me in
But I don't recommend
I'll blow off the roof right off this place

 

Cause dancing is about
Sexual confidence
So shake up your stuff
If you feel good enough
To let the moment just hit you
If the music befits you
To let the berry juice just slide out
From in between your legs your intimate hideout
