From the album "The Blue Mask" (1982) G D A D G D A D G D A D G D A D G D A D G D A D [Verse 1]
         G                   D
Waves of fear, attack in the night

         A                    D
Waves if revulsion, sickening sights

                  G                            D
My heart's nearly bursting, my chest's choking tight

         G              G
Waves of fear, waves of fear
[Verse 2]
         G                  D
Waves of fear, squat on the floor

                 A                   D
Looking for some pill, the liquor is gone

                    G                  D
Blood trips from my nose, I can barely breathe

         A                       D
Waves of fear, I'm too scared to leave
[Chorus]
         G    D         A    D
Waves of fear, waves of fear

         G    D         A    D
Waves of fear, waves of fear
[Bridge]
    D
I'm too afraid to use the phone

    D
I'm too afraid to put the light on

    D
I'm so afraid I've lost control

    D
I'm suffocating without a word
[Verse 3]
           G                    D
Crazy with sweat, spittle on my jaw

                  A                         D
What's that funny noise, what's that on the floor

         G                  D
Waves of fear, pulsing with death

           A                         D
I curse my tremors, I jump at my own step

               G                     D
I cringe at my terror, I hate my own smell

               A                     D
I know where I must be, I must be in hell
[Chorus]
         G    D         A    D
Waves of fear, waves of fear

         G    D         A    D
Waves of fear, waves of fear
[Outro] G D A D G D A D G D A D G D A D G D A D G D A D G D A D G D A D G D A D G D A D G D A D G D A D
