This is the Acoustic version of "Fear" by Blue October.  This song was released 
today, 8/22/13 on their new "Debris" Acoustic EP.  You can find the original song 
on the new album "Sway."

This song is originally A, E, D, F#m.  I am very, very new to the guitar and the 
F#m was just too difficult for me to play, so this is transposed a step down.
