The Fear by Ben Howard

Capo 5th fret



Am                                        G
Mama, cold hearted child, tell me how you feel
       Am                                 G
Just a blade in the grass, spoke unto the wheel
Am                                               G
Mama, cold hearted child, tell me where it's all gone
Am                                                 G
The luster of your bones, those arms that held you strong


C                       Em        D        C
I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear
                         Em         D            C
I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear
                         Em            D                         C
I been worrying, than we all, live our lives, in the confines of fear


C  Em



Am                                        G
Mama, cold hearted child, tell me how you feel
Am                                                 G
Just agrain in the morning air, dark shadow on the hill
Am                                             G
Mama, cold hearted child, tell me where it all fall's
Am                                             G
Oh this apathy you feel will make a fool of us all


C                       Em        D        C
I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear
                         Em         D            C
I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear

                        Em           D                        C
I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear


Em          G             C
Oh I will become what I deserve
                                  Em       G             C
I been worryin', I been worryin', I will become what I deserve
                        Em        D        C
I been worryin' that my time is a little unclear
                         Em         D            C
I been worryin' that I'm losing the one's I hold dear
                        Em           D                        C
I been worryin' that we all live our lives in the confines of fear
