May Erlewine - I Won't Be Afraid chords
Start Jamming...
So moving forward, we cannot be afraid.
[E] We can be anything but afraid because fear just makes us incapable.
[Ab] And it blinds [Em] us from truth.
So this is a [F] song that I wrote, [Gm] trying to [N] create a mantra for when I'm terrified.
Because it's easy to be terrified these days.
And I wondered if you would sing it with me, the mantra.
There's a part for you.
I'll teach it to you.
I'll say, [D] I won't be afraid.
And you say, oh no.
[Gm] Afraid, yeah.
Afraid to fall, [A] to fall.
I'd rather [Bm] be broken [A] than [G] give it my all.
I won't be afraid.
Oh no.

From every [G]
mountain,
[A] there's true [D] freedom to reach.
And I won't be afraid.
