Chords for Blue October : Fear (Acoustic)

[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ [G] _ _
[A] I'm a beast [Am] in my head, _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [G] a burning in my thigh,
a nervous _ [D] being in my brain.
_ [Bm] And I'm [E] so peaceful.
_ [A] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ You _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ know, we've been talking about _ _ a lot of things
that have happened in my life and everybody's life.
But when I said earlier that I wanted
to start [N] painting _ what it feels like to be content, _
_ I made some changes in my life and just
decided to take away the crutches that
were _ _ holding me down.
And instead of picking me up, I had my daughter Sadie. _
And _ this song was written.
It's probably my favorite song that I've ever written.
But I'm very [A] proud of it.
_ _ _ _ I'm _ actually glad that this was inside of me.
Because when it was [Dm] written, [A] I was just kind of like, wow.
I didn't know that piece of me existed.
So _
[C#m] thanks for helping me be here.
_ [D] _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [A] _ _ _ _
_ All my life, _ _ _ _ I've been running _ from the pain in me, _
_ _ _ _ a [D] feeling I don't _ _ understand. _ _
_ _ _ But it's holding [E] me down. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [G] [A] So _ rain on me, _ _ _ _ _ _ underwater _ _ all _ I am, _
_ _ _ _ getting harder, [D] the _ heavy weight _ _ that I carry on [E] the ground. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ Because [D] you see, today, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] I don't have [E] to fall [D] _
apart. _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] And I don't [E] have to be [D] _
afraid.
_ _ _ _ _ [G] _ [A]
And I don't [E] have to let [D] the _ damage consume me.
_ My shadows see through me.
Because _ _ _ fear in _ [E]
itself _ can reel you [F#]
in _ and spit you [E]
out.
Over and over [D] again, _ _ _ believe in [E]
yourself.
_ And you will [A] _
walk. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ But _ [D]
now, fear _ in _ [E]
itself _ will use [F#] you _ up.
And it breaks [A] you [E]
down.
_ You're never [D] _
enough.
_ _ Yeah, I used [E] to fall.
_ But now I get [Dm] back [A] up. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [A#] Now, [A] _ _ I'm up here.
_ _ _ _ I'm [D] looking at [C#m] the way _ down there.
_ _ _ And I'm staring [D] through the eye.
Don't care.
_ _ _ And it's staring back [E] at me. _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ But you [G]
[A] see, the beauty _ _ is _ _ _ _ I'm learning how to face my beast.
_ And I'm starting [C#] now [D] to _ _ find some peace _ _ _ and set myself [E] free. _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Em] But you see, [D]
today, _ _ _ _ _ _ [A]
I don't have [E] to fall [Bm] _ [D]
apart.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] And I don't [E] have to be _ [D] _
afraid.
_ _ _ _ _ [A] And I don't have [E] to let the [D] _ _
damage consume me.
My shadows see through me.
Because _ _ _ fear in [E] itself _ can reel [F#] you in _ and spit [A] you [E]
out.
_ _ Over [G] and over [D] _
again, _ believe in _ [E]
yourself.
_ And you [G] will [A] _
_ _ _ _ walk. _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] And now, _ fear in _ [E] _
itself will use [F#] you up.
_ And break [A] you [E]
down.
You're never _ [D] enough.
Listen, _ I used to [E]
fall.
_ But now I get [A] back _ up. _ _ _ _ _
_ You see, because I'm moving _ _ on. _ _ _ _ _
_ [C#m] Oh, God, just [F#] move _ _ on.
Oh, _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [D] _ [E] _ _
_ _ _ you _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ [G] [A] and _ _ _ I, _ _ _ _ _ _ I, _ _ _ I, _ _ _ [C#m] _ _ _ _
_ I, _ _ _ [F#] I, _ _ _ _ _ I, _ _ I, _ _ _ [D] _ [E]
I. _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [B] Because [D] you see, today, _ _ _ _ _ _ _
[A] I [D] don't [E] have to fall _ [D] _
apart.
_ _ _ _ _ [A]
And I don't [E] have to _ [D] be _ _ _ afraid _ _ _ _
_ _ So I get back _ up
_ Then I get _ _ [N] up _ _ _
And nothing will break me _ _ down _ Yeah, _ fear
_ _ _ Oh, _ fear _ _ Oh _ _ _ _
Breaks _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
you _ _ down _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ And [D]
I used to _ fall _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ So _ [A] now I _ _ breathe
_ _ And _ _ _ _ [D] I ask for more _
[A] _ _ _ _ And _ _ if I'm [F#] bitter _ _ still
_ _ I _ _ _ _ ask Him to help [Bm] me _ carry _ _ [E] on
_ _ Thank _ _ _ _ _ _ _
you very much. _ _ _ _ _
