Chords for Outkast - Phobia

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ The feeling of being 12 years old and waking up in the middle of the night with [Ab] somebody in your [Ebm] room
Your heart starts beating so fast you can hear it pumping
The veins in your temples pulsate as you stare at the intruder
Then after a few minutes you realize he ain't moving
So finally you let him hang and turn on the lights and the killer turns into your coat thrown over the chair
The feeling of sitting at the red light early in the morning until three motherfuckers cross the street
[Ab] Your senses [Ebm] heighten
Reflexes sharpened, business in hand, adrenaline flows
As they rush across the street you need a print from the heater gripping your [Ab] palm
And your heart rate and breathing drag back to normal as you realize these niggas just doing to the stove
[Eb] Many of us mistake phobia for true fear whereas fears are a gift from God to be used for self-preservation
Phobia are obstacles strategically placed in society by opposes of positive existence
Through stereotyping, [Ab] innuendo, false documentation and glorification they have turned your fear switch to a permanent on
We can [C] change this by changing the small truth within the lie.
Death is a small price to pay for respect
[Ebm] Death is a small price to pay for respect.
You know who it is.
You know what it is.
