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

Oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh, oh oh oh

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

Em       D/F#  G     G/B  C     C7M

Set me free, set me free
      D          Em
Oh my God set me free

From the chains holding me
      D          C
Oh my God set me free.
