I believe this is tuned a half step down, but you can play it in standard tuning
and it sounds fine. Simple tune, sounds good acoustic.

[Intro Verse 1] (quiet)
I was w[G]alking along on the o[D]cean,[Am]
I felt a f[G]ever burning up [D]all I am,[Am]
'Cause if [G]there's one thing that [D]I can't stand,
It's s[Am]tanding next to my f[C]ellow man[G].
Ah-ah-ah[D]. Ah-ah-ah[Am].
It's about to [Am]break. [D]Oh.
[Verse 2]
For the [G]social worker at the [D]needle exchange.[Am]
For the [G]self-medicated and the [D]hard deranged.[Am]
For the [G]lesbians at the [D]bakery,[Am]
Saying, [G]"Do you really [D]hate me?"[Am]
It's about to [G]break.[D][Am]
[Chorus 1] (loud)
Break like a [G]fever.[D][Am]
It's about to [G]break.[D][Am]
Break like a [G]fever.[D][Am]
[Verse 3] (loud)
People [Em]looking for themselves in[D]side of mirrors.[Am]
For [Em]not knowing [D]why you're here.[Am]
The [Em]public appearances on the [D]verge of tears.[Am]
When you're [Em]all played out from [D]weed and beer.[Am]
[Bridge]
[Am]Stand up let me get a look at you.
[D]Can't we all take a wider view?
(x2)
[Verse 4] (starts quiet, grows)
For the [G]evangelist with a [D]stinger-missile,[Am]
[G]Weapons hot, [D]thinking this will,[Am]
We won't [G]make them follow [D]orders,[Am]
For [G]Doctors Without [D]Borders.[Am]
[(Am)]About to break.
It's about to [D]break.
[Chorus 2] (loud)
(Break Like a fever.)
[G]When I see your [D]face, I wanna be [Am]in the human [C]race. (Break like a fever)
[G]You're beautifu[D]l it's true, I want[Am] to be beautifu[C]l like you. (Break like a fever)
[G]When I see your [D]face, I wanna be [Am]in the human [C]race. (Break like a fever)
[G]You're beautifu[D]l it's true, I want[Am] to be beautifu[C]l like you. (Break like a fever)
For a [G]teenage mother with the [D]baby asleep, (Br[Am]eak like a fever)
For [G]Africa, where [D]life is cheap.[Am]
[End] (quiet)
For [G]losing faith in who you're [D]going with,[Am]
[G]America fades [D]into myth.[Am]
