[Intro]
F#m  B  x8
 
 
[Verse 1]
F#m                B               F#m B
I see you looking over your shoulder
F#m                B               F#m B
Tell me who do you think's out there
F#m                      B         F#m B
You're reaching for your four leaf clover
     F#m             B        F#m      A E
But baby there ain't no luck down there
F#m                                      E
I swear that there's no heart in this city
F#m                                      A B
It's here the slogan reads "Do your time"
F#m                              E
 everybody's doing their sentence
F#m
It's just there ain't nobody here
F#m
Who knows just what's the crime
 
 
[Chorus 1]
A                    D
I watched my father live a lie here
A                    D   E
I'd rather die than fade away
A
I read the rules
    D      E
And yeah I know them
D
You ain't ever gon-na
E
Make me play the game of
F#m   B     F#m   B     F#m   B     F#m  B
Fear (fear) Fear (fear) Fear (fear) Of a new thing
F#m  B  F#m  B
 
 
[Verse 2]
F#m               B
Running with the rats
        F#m  B
In this city
          F#m
Makes you feel like you're
   B         F#m   B
A partner in crime
F#m                 B         F#m   B
Girl once you were young and pretty
        F#m                       B          F#m A E
No, you stopped and watched that little girl die
F#m                              E
Hey baby won't you stop and hear me
    F#m
Just being here we're
                      A B
Breathing heart attacks
F#m
We can run and chase
             E         F#m
The setting sun we can run
F#m
And we won't ever look back
 
 
[Chorus 2]
A              D
Take my hand I know we'll make it
A                 D      E
I'll let nothing slow us down
A                   D
I know you want to curse
      E                 D
This place but there's only
                  E
One thing that's stopping us now
F#m   B     F#m   B     F#m   B
Fear (fear) Fear (fear) Fear (fear)
     F#m      B
Of a new thing
F#m   B     F#m   B     F#m   B
Fear (fear) Fear (fear) Fear (fear)
       F#m       B
Of the brass ring
 
 
[Bridge]
B         A              F#m
You ain't one for taking chances
B             A                    F#m
You work and live and breathe that nine to five
D             A            F#m
Still that's what you call living
D
That's surviving to me
    E
And surviving is living to die in
 
 
[Outro]
F#m   B     F#m   B     F#m   B
Fear (fear) Fear (fear) Fear (fear)
     F#m      B
Of a new thing
F#m   B     F#m   B     F#m   B
Fear (fear) Fear (fear) Fear (fear)
       F#m       B
Of the brass ring
F#m  B    F#m   B
Fear fear fear  fear
F#m  B    F#m   B
Fear fear fear  fear
F#m  B    F#m   B F#m  B    F#m   B E F#m
Fear
