WHO PUT THE FEAR IN HERE?
-------------------------
Verse: Am Am~ (x2) Gm Gm~ Fm Fm~ Gm
I watched a man tell his boy about the pains of reality
Then I watched that child grow into a soldier defending contradictions
And paving the way
Chorus: C C G F FF xx GGG
Who put the fear in here?
Who put the fear in here?
I watched a miracle in the making
And had a scientist tell me that I
Couldn't live without breaking
My habits of fearlessness and pride for the world
Chorus: C C G F FF xx GGG
Who put the fear in here?
Who put the fear in here? Oh no
Was it you that finally shed a tear?
Interlude
E (7th fret) Am Bm
Someone told me that to love found put another sun in the sky
You'd beleive me then there'd be twice the light
And no one would be scared to fly
If I beleived me, then there'd be twice the light
And no one would be scared to fly
Verse: Am Am~ (x2) Gm Gm~ Fm Fm~ Gm
I thought I knew exactly what scared me
And I would never have to run again
So, I went to sleep and began dreaming
Of perfect lives and paradise
Woke up and started screaming
Chorus: C C G F FF xx GGG
Who put the fear in here?
Who put the fear in here? Oh no
Was it you that finally shed a tear?
And who put the fear in here?

Slips somethin in my pocket so secretly

HANDS OF A TEACHER
------------------
Verse:
Bsus2 C#sus2 Dsus2
Optimism.
Optimism varies from the face of my earth
Then you came along
Came along and swept me away
She kissed me
As we stood on the edge
The night made the day as we made for the bridge
It started rainin hard
And I saw we may live to regret
Interlude:
G# F#
No, I never really understood
No, I never really understood why
Cause I'd never really been given
Never really been given two tries
No, I never really understood
Understood why
Verse:
Bsus2 C#sus2 Dsus2
Pesimism.
Pesimism from the face of my earth
And then you came along
Came along and swept me away
Did you miss me
Did you miss me as we walked through the pain
Attached the chains so you can see me again
Started. Skinned myself
Did I teach you right
Verse:
Bsus2 C#sus2 Dsus2
No, I never really understood
No, I never really understood why
Cause I'd never really been given
Cause I'd never been given two tries
No, I never really understood
Understood why
Interlude:
G# F#
Understood why
Understood why
You came to me
You broke a bond
And you set me free
And the love that you promised me
Came a tumblin, tumblin, tumblin down
Into my hands
Into my hands
Into my hands

SISTER
------
Not too sure on this one. I'll work on it. Here's at least the lyrics for
now.
Verses: Not a clue. It's too quiet and background.
Chorus: F#5 (x4) and slide down off fretboard
Lyrics:
See me walkin aimlessly about
Don't know whether to whisper or to shout
I could be wrong
I could be very very right
But here I stand
Innocence in my bones
She's naked in my bed
While thoughts inside my head
Oh no, she's my sister
Mister. Don't let your heart break too soon
Maybe
Maybe
Sister you can heal my brain
I could have been to you tonight
What I wanted to be all my life
The day is gone
And I can see
I can't sustain your love
I can't complain your love
I can't explain your love
Oh no, she's my sister
Mister. Don't let your heart break too soon
Maybe
Maybe
Sister you can heal my brain
Sister Yeah
(Ad-lib vocal Oh Oh Oh Oh Wo Oh, etc.)
Oh no, she's my sister
Mister. Don't let your heart break too soon
Maybe
Maybe
Sister you can heal my brain
Sister
Sister
(Ad-lib vocal Oh Oh Oh Oh Wo Oh, etc.)
Sister
Sister
She's my sister

RAISING A MAN
-------------
Intro: F#5 (9th fret) D5
Verse: F#5 (9th fret) D5 (x4) Fm
Chorus: E (open) F# (2nd fret) A A
Verse:
Gather round the supper table
Tell the boy he's just as able
To die
With his boots untied
Evening's come, lets settle down
Sing one more song without a frown
Sing full
Sing for our voices
And more
Sing for our choices
Chorus:
You must stand
Raising the man {raising the man}
To teach him direction
And the best that he can
Listen Once (lesson was?)
You will run
Sink into your chair with your fright
Oh
Verse:
Willy boy is far to kind
There comes a time when Willy fight
Will he run
Or will he stand
Now I lay him down to sleep
State of mind, his soul to keep
I give him words
Words to say
He might love
Love everyday
Chorus:
You must stand
Raising the man {raising the man}
To teach him direction
And the best that he can
Listen Once (lesson was?)
You will run
Sink into your chair with your fright
But the night, night, night, the night's alright
But the night, night, night, the night's alright
(repeat this last part twice and out)

LIBRA
-----
Libra, take my eyes from me
Oh Libra, make me blind so that I can see
Everyone's dreamin
Of the truth to be
Yet everyone's changin channels
On the big TV
Oh Libra
Like a violin
Time tried to hold her
Tried to tie her down
I beat the clock
Now the balance makes my world go round
Oh Libra
Like a violin
Oh Libra
Like a viloin
Oh Libra
My love
Oh
Libra
My love

The little descending chord thing is just D5 down to G5 one fret at a time.

Kill the lights
You and I
On the road

It's all the same
Just playin the game
There aint no way
This ball and chain
Verse:
Save the lines
You and I
On the road

You and I should never regret
Chorus:
Oh, It's all the same
Just playin the game
There aint no way
This ball and chain
This ball and chain
This ball and chain

On the road
End of time
You can't seem to say to me
I'm the lock
You're the key

Just playin the game
There aint no way
This ball and chain
This ball and chain
This ball and chain
