Standard (EADGBE)
Fear will take the Best of us,
Then come back for the rest of us,
Its rabid hunger never satisfied.
It's closer than a brother
And more jealous than a lover,
Who holds you while it swallows you alive.
Let down your gu-ard,
And it will steal your he-art.
There's no thief like fear, no,
There's no thief like fear, no,
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I've tried to blame bureaucracy
The weak-knees of hypocrisy
And the cruel and shifting winds of circumstance
But I know insecurity
Is the worst of my own enemies
He sings his lonely song and I will dance
As he robs me bl-ind
right before my ey-es
There's no thief like fear, no,
There's no thief like fear, no,
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Set me free, set me free
Oh my God set me free
From the chains holding me
Oh my God set me free.
There's no thief like fear, no,
There's no thief like fear, no,
There's no thief like fear, no,
There's no thief like fear, no,
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
I am free, I am free
Oh my God has rescued me
From these chains I am released
For my God has set me free
I am free, I am free
Oh my God has rescued me
From these chains I am released
For my God has set me free.
