I don't want to scare you but we need to talk

It's only fair that you know a few things about me before we start

Bb F
I've seen how people work
Gm Dm
I've watched them all these years
Bb F
They are not driven by ambition
Gm C/G
All their motors run on fear

Each one afraid of aging, dying

Being lonely, getting caught
Bb F
They're terrified of moving on
Gm C/G
But scared of staying here
[Verse 2]
Dm Dm Dm
I bared my neck to the teeth of a knife
Dm Bb Bb Bb Bb
They've held my head under the water for minutes - I didn't mind
Badd4 Badd4 Badd4
I've been blind, bound and tied at the mercy of strangers
Badd4
They beat me, whatever
Asus4 Asus4 A A
My heart didn't race - I was fine
Dm Dm Dm
I got them to hang me from terrible heights
Dm Dm Bb
They took me to places of poverty, malice, unspeakable
Bb Bb
War - I have seen people die
Bb Badd4 Badd4
They left me at night in the heart of the forest, the air full of noises
Badd4 Badd4
The creatures that eat us just feet from my face
Badd4 Badd4
As their wild cries sounded, and darkness surrounded
Asus4 Asus4 A A
And still I did not bat an eye
[Chrous]
