this is one of the most powerful songs on demon hunter’s new record , “true defiance . ”
the chorus is a mantra for resistance , really . just follow along – the strumming pattern
is pretty simple , just listen to the song to pick it up . if you’re on an acoustic , it
sounds better if you palm mute the chords . thanks for checking out my tab!
* * * you can use a normal C chord in place of C/G , but i think that it sounds better the
way that i’ve written it here . the rest is all really easy . * * *

[ verse 1 : ]
Em C/G G D
it’s hard to say , that i’m back on a straight line ,
Em C/G G D
you see my path is in fact , just a fault line .
Em C/G G D
it’s in my blood it’s in my lungs , and it won’t die!
Em C/G G D
i fight these words , i bite my tongue so i don’t lie .
[ pre – chorus : ]
C/G G D
though it’s me to blame , there is no more shame in me , in me .
C/G
i just feel the same , immune to all this pain ,
G D C/G
and the scars don’t write a song for me at all .
[ chorus : ]
Em C/G G D
i Am a stone , unaffected , rain hell down onto me!
Em C/G G D
flesh and bone , unaffected , your fool i will not be .
Em C/G G D
i Am a stone , unaffected , rain hell down onto me!
Em C/G G D
flesh and bone , unaffected , your fool i will not be .
[ verse 2 : ]
Em C/G G D
i tried to see and believe in the short – sight .
Em C/G G D
accept the burn of a vain and a half – life .
Em C/G G D
and how you rest your faith in these for a lifetime
Em C/G G D
the hollow lie against my hope that i won’t buy .
[ pre – chorus : ]
C/G G D
though it’s me to blame , there is no more shame in me , in me .
C/G
i just feel the same , immune to all you say ,
G D C/G
and the scars don’t write a song for me at all .
G D C/G
no , your tears won’t line a path for me to crawl .
[ chorus : ]
Em C/G G D
i Am a stone , unaffected , rain hell down onto me!
Em C/G G D
flesh and bone , unaffected , your fool i will not be .
Em C/G G D
i Am a stone , unaffected , rain hell down onto me!
Em C/G G D
flesh and bone , unaffected , your fool i will not be .
[ bridge : ]
D C/G
the waters rise above my eyes ,
D G C/G
i will breathe it in and go out with the tide .
D C/G
and when you think this is the end ,
D G C/G
you will find me there , where i have always been .
[ chorus : ] ( let each chord ring )
Em C/G G D
i Am a stone , unaffected , rain hell down onto me!
Em C/G G D
flesh and bone , unaffected , your fool i will not be .
( back to palm mute )
Em C/G G D
i Am a stone , unaffected , rain hell down onto me!

flesh and bone , unaffected , your fool i will not be .
Em C/G G D
i Am a stone , unaffected , rain hell down onto me!

flesh and bone , unaffected , your fool i will not be .
Em C/G G D
i Am a stone ,

i Am a stone .
