Fear will take the Best of us,
     E5
Then come back for the rest of us,
    C5                       G5
Its rabid hunger never satisfied.
     A5
It's closer than a brother 
         E5
And more jealous than a lover,
    C5                               G5      A5
Who holds you while it swallows you alive.
              E5  D5  A5
Let down your gu-ard,
                       E5 D5
And it will steal your he-art.

E5       D5  G5     G5  C5     C5
There's  no    thief like fear, no, 
E5       D5  G5     G5  C5     C5
There's  no    thief like fear, no, 
E5        G5         E5        G5
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

     A5
I've tried to blame bureaucracy
    E5
The weak-knees of hypocrisy
        C5                                 G5
And the cruel and shifting winds of circumstance
    A5
But I know insecurity
       E5
Is the worst of my own enemies
   C5                                G5      A5
He sings his lonely song and I will dance
              E5 D5   A5
As he robs me bl-ind
                E5 D5
right before my ey-es

E5       D5  G5     G5  C5     C5
There's  no    thief like fear, no, 
E5       D5  G5     G5  C5     C5
There's  no    thief like fear, no, 
E5        G5         E5        G5
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

       C5            G5
Set me free, set me free
      D5          E5
Oh my God set me free
         C5              G5
From the chains holding me
      D5          C5
Oh my God set me free.


E5       D5  G5          C5

There's  no    thief like fear, no, 
E5       D5  G5     G5  C5     C5
There's  no    thief like fear, no,
 
E5        G5         E5        G5
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh
E5        G5         E5        G5
Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh


     C5          G5
I am free, I am free
      D5               E5
Oh my God has rescued me

Oh my God has rescued me
           C5             G5
From these chains I am released
       D5              C5
For my God has set me free.
