| G | G | G | G |
| Bb | F | G | G | (4x)
| 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 | (2x)
| 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] (2x)
         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
