[Intro] | G | G | G | G | | Bb | F | G | G | x4 | Bb | F | G | D | Bb | Bb | [Verse 1]
              G                   D
We've got nothing to fear...but fear itself?

Bb                                 G        D
Not pain, not failure, not fatal tragedy?

Bb                            G           D
Not the faulty units in this mad machinery?

Bb                             G         D
Not the broken contacts in emotional chemistry?

         Am              Em
With an iron fist in a velvet glove

         C
We are sheltered under the gun

         Am               Em
In the glory game on the power train

 C                     Am  | Em | C | C |
Thy kingdom's will be done

           Eb           F         Eb            C   Bb  G          | G |
And the things that we fear are a weapon to be held a - gainst us
[Chorus]
      D
He's not afraid of your judgment

              Am
He knows of horrors worse than your Hell

         G
He's a little bit afraid of dying

            Am         G              F    | E | D | D |
But he's a lot more afraid of your lying

          Eb            F          Eb            C   Bb  G          | G |
And the things that he fears are a weapon to be held a - gainst him
| Bb | F | G | G | x2 | Bb | F | G | D | Bb | Bb | [Verse 2]
         G                D
Can any part of life be larger than life?

Bb                            G    D
Even love must be limited by time

    Bb                                      G       D
And those who push us down that they might climb

   Bb                               G     D
Is any killer worth more than his crime?

        Am                Em
Like a steely blade in a silken sheath

    C
We don't see what they're made of

       Am                        Em
They shout about love, but when push comes to shove

 C                                      Am | Em | C | C |
They live for the things they're afraid of

          Eb                F          Eb           C   Bb  G          | G |
And the knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used a - gainst them
[Chorus] (x2)
      D
He's not afraid of your judgment

              Am
He knows of horrors worse than your Hell

         G
He's a little bit afraid of dying

            Am         G              F    | E | D | D |
But he's a lot more afraid of your lying

          Eb            F          Eb            C   Bb  G          | G |
And the things that he fears are a weapon to be held a - gainst him
