Be Afraid
Tuning:E A D G B E
Key:G
Capo:no capo
[Verse 1]
Em D Cadd9 Em D Cadd9
We've been testing you and you failed
Em D Cadd9 Em D Cadd9
To see how long that you could sit with the truth, but you bailed
Em Cadd9
And I don't think you even recognize the loss of control
Em Cadd9
And I don't think you even see it in yourself
Em Cadd9
See every one of us is counting dice that we didn't roll
Em Cadd9
And the loser is the last to ask for help
[Chorus]
G D
Be afraid, be very afraid
D Cadd9
But do it anyway
G
Do it anyway
[Verse 2]
Em D Cadd9 Em G Cadd9
The stage belongs to you, you feel like a star
Em D Cadd9 Em D Cadd9
You can bark and snap like a dog at the man who just tuned your guitar
Em Cadd9
And I don't think you even recognize the kid in the wings
Em Cadd9
And I dont think you even see her in yourself
Em Cadd9
She looks to you for what to do with all her delicate dreams
Em Cadd9
But you're too terrified to be of any help
[Chorus]
G D
Be afraid, be very afraid
D Cadd9
But do it anyway
G
Do it anyway
G D
Be afraid, be very afraid
D Cadd9
But do it anyway
G
Do it anyway
[Bridge]
Em Cadd9 G
We don't take requests, we won't shut up and sing
Em Cadd9 D
You tell the truth enough, you find it rhymes with everything
[Verse 3]
Em D Cadd9 Em D Cadd9
We've been testing you.. and you failed
Em D Cadd9 Em D
To see how long that you could hold it in before you screamed, but you only
Cadd9
exhaled
Em Cadd9
And I don't think you even recognize the sound of your voice
Em Cadd9
When it's blasting through the speakers in the sky
Em Cadd9
And if your words add up to nothing, then you're making a choice
Em Cadd9
To sing a cover when we need a battle cry
[Chorus]
G D
Be afraid, be very afraid
D Cadd9
But do it anyway
G
Do it anyway
G D
Be afraid, be very afraid
D Cadd9
But do it anyway
G
Do it anyway
G D
Be afraid, be very afraid
D Cadd9
But do it anyway
G
Do it anyway
G D
Be afraid, be very afraid
D Cadd9
But do it anyway
G
Do it anyway
[Outro]
