[Verse 1]
              G                   
We've got nothing to fear...but fear
D
 itself?
Bb                             
Not pain, not failure, not fatal 
    G        D
tragedy?
Bb                            G  
Not the faulty units in this mad 
         D
machinery?
Bb                             G 
Not the broken contacts in 
        D
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 | 
Thy kingdom's will be done
C | C |


           Eb           F         
And the things that we fear are a 
Eb            C   Bb  G          
weapon to be held a - gainst us
| G |

[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          
But he's a lot more afraid of your
    F    | E | D | D |
 lying
          Eb            F          
And the things that he fears are a 
Eb            C   Bb  G          
weapon to be held a - gainst him

[Verse 2]
         G                D
Can any part of life be larger than 
life?
Bb                            G    D
Even love must be limited by time
    Bb                             
And those who push us down that 
         G       D
they might climb
   Bb                            
Is any killer worth more than his 
   G     D
crime?
        Am                Em
Like a steely blade in a silken 
sheath
    C
We don't see what they're made of
       Am                        
They shout about love, but when push
Em
 comes to shove
 C                              
They live for the things they're 
        Am | Em | C | C |
afraid of

          Eb                F     
And the knowledge that they fear 
     Eb           C   Bb  G     
is a weapon to be used a - 
     | G |
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          
But he's a lot more afraid of your
    F    | E | D | D |
 lying
          Eb            F          
And the things that he fears are a 
Eb            C   Bb  G          
weapon to be held a - gainst him
