[Verse]~
     A                    G
My mother's afraid of the subway

      A
It's a living bad dream

A                       G 
I hold her hands as the doors close

        A
And she pales and stifles a scream


A                G
Ali's afraid of Ad-libbing

   A
Of improvising at jams

        A               G
She is not very happy right now

      A
And spends all her money on grams


A                    G
Ade is afraid of commitment

    A
So Carla dumped him today

          A        G
She was very disappointed

         A
She was hoping he'd beg her to stay


     A                    G
And Ayo he just wants a girlfriend

       A
He's afraid of dying alone

         A                  G  
But he doesn't go out very much

         A
Sits at home a lot getting stoned


[Chorus]~
         A             G
You see fear is only holding us back

        A
Look closely amongst all your peers

           A                      G
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track

        A
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear


[Verse]~
A                 G
Ella is worried about her weight

          A
She won't eat in public anymore

        A                 G
She is f-cking her ex again

                 A
And when they finish she sleeps on the floor


A                     G
Nate has a heart of gold

      A
But give it away he will not

      A               G
His mother abandoned him at ten

        A
It's a pain he has never forgot


A                    G
Mary's afraid of herself

       A
Her sentence is often cut half

           A               G
You will never get her opinion

          A
She's afraid that people might laugh


     A                 G
And I am afraid of sharks

    A                         
I will not swim out past my hand

  A                    G
Sometimes I worry my boyfriend will die

     A
My first love is already dead


[Chorus]~
         A             G
You see fear is only holding us back

        A
Look closely amongst all your peers

           A                      G
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track

        A
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear


[Verse]~
A                 G
Candy is having a baby

      A
She fears she will be like her mom

       A                          G
Her friends say, "Relax, take a deep breath

      A
And march to a different tune."


  A                      G
Sasha's afraid of her Marco

       A
She thinks that it's all her fault

           A                         G
But if he did what he does to a stranger

          A
He'd be locked up and charged with assault


[Chorus]~
         A             G
You see fear is only holding us back

        A
Look closely amongst all your peers

           A                      G
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track

        A
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear


         A             G
You see fear is only holding us back

        A
Look closely amongst all your peers

           A                      G
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track

        A
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear

My fingerprints are getting burned off

     C#        G#      C#
From using the too hot touchpad

D#    C#      G#
Of my MacBook Pro

I promise I will never stop over using superlative

I haven't been outside since last week

When I went to the beach

         G#             C#
Where I spent the whole time

Looking at the ocean

Wishing it was warmer

        C#              D#
Where I spent the whole time

        C#             G#      C#
Looking for a stronger wire to signal

        D#       C#  G#
Because cellular net only had two bars

C#      D#

[Bridge]~
When I was a kid going into elementary school
Right before I went into elementary school
I was afraid of everything
I couldn't listen to the radio, I was afraid of the radio
Now that I'm going into college it's like the exact same thing
I am literally becoming afraid of everything


[Chorus]~

Because you always work on the same night

                     F#             C#

[Verse 1]~
        C
There's times I miss the friends I had

        Dm
There's times I'm glad they're gone

      F
But I can't explain the feeling

            C
Of how I've watched you all move on
There's days when I forget myself

  Dm
I don't feel like a man

        F
When my body's full of alcohol

        C
And I'm sleeping in the van


[Chorus]~
       Dm
And my head aches

       F
And my heart breaks

    C
For you


[Verse 2]~
        C
There's times when I'm remembering

     Dm
When I was 17

      F
Man I should've gone to college

              C
Things aren't looking up for me
If everyday could take away

    Dm
The pain that I have felt

       F
Then I close my eyes and walk outside

C
Hear my favorite sound


[Chorus]~
       Dm
And my head aches

       F
And my heart breaks

    C
For you


[Verse 3]~
    C
The hope I gave it fades away

     Dm
It's really not that hard to say

       F
You'll miss me when your body aches

       C
You're living all alone
There's one thing that I need to do

    Dm
I'm trying to sell out

        F
I could finally pay my rent on time

    C
The kids could shut their mouths
It's not you, It's me

     Dm
It's getting hard to breathe

           F               C
Let's just keep on talking all about me
It's not me, It's you

     Dm
It's more than I can chew

      F
And I don't know what to do

      C
And I don't know what to do


[Chorus]~
       Dm
And my head aches

       F
And my heart breaks

       Dm
And my head aches

       F
And my heart breaks

    C
For you


[Bridge]~
C
Overwhelming

Dm
I'm not saying

F              C
I have come of age
Everybody

Dm
Keeps on telling

F            C
Me to make a change
What's the issue

Dm
If I miss you

F                 C
Wish that I could stay
What's the point

Dm
If I'm annoyed

F              C
I have come of age


[Chorus]~
       Dm
And my head aches

       F
And my heart breaks

       Dm
And my head aches

       F
And my heart breaks

And my head aches

And my heart breaks

And my head aches

And my heart breaks

[Intro]~
Am         C
I’m on my way

                  G
I need you to be burning, I need you on fire

Am         C
One rainy day

            G
Should not kill, all desire


[Verse 1]~
Am            C
Name all you want

               G
Just say it out loud, just tell me now

Am                 C
We need to find a way

            G
To fix the holes, when things go wrong


[Pre-Chorus]~
D
So why keep dragging out

                       C
Till we’ve lost every trace


[Chorus]~
F                 Am
Once I’d have my way

         F                 Am
I would make it worth the wait

        G
Wouldn’t I


[Verse 2]~
Am                     C
Lost your hope long before

               G
Between the choices, between ten thousand steps

Am                      C
You think you know for sure

             G
That this is over, but we’re not done yet


[Pre-Chorus]~
D
So why keep dragging out
Till we’ve lost

        C
Every trace, is this our game


[Chorus]~
F                Am
Once I’d have my way

        F                  Am
I would make it worth the wait

        G
Wouldn’t I

        C
Wouldn’t I


[Bridge]~
F    Am    F    G 
F                  Am
Footsteps heading north

                   F               G
Photographs taken down the bedroom wall

F                  Am
You’ve deceived me well

                        F               G
All of these years and nothing’s ever changed


[Chorus]~
F                Am
Once I’d have my way

         F                 Am
I would make it worth the wait

        G
Wouldn’t I

F                Am
Once I’d have my way

         F                Am
I would make it worth the wait

        G
Wouldn’t I

        Am
Wouldn’t I

[Verse]~
A
Black hole, paradise found

G                D
Some so dark and some so bright

A
Blue sky over our heads

C                          D       
Why the hell is everything turning out gray now?

A
All things are not what they seem

    G                         D
The man behind the curtain he probably mean

A
Deep six keeps the population down

G                               D
Broke and soaking wet, lost and floating around


[Chorus]~

Keep your head down, keep your voice down

    G             D
Ohh listen to the sound

C              C
All the races, all the faces

Just might find a winner lying on the ground

A                 A
Learn to take it, Try to shake it

A             G        D
Can't fake it now

C
From the cradle you've been labeled

C                    G        D     B
About as stable as a drunk on shaky ground


B -  D


[Verse]~
A
Blind luck stumbled into a tree

  G                     D
I would've passed by if I could have seen

A
Got no cares, never felt pressed

  C                                 D
I wonder what they're getting for a pound of flesh?

A
Mark it down now throwing a shoe

    G                         D
Old dogs new tricks Something they can't use

A
Deep six keeps the population down

G                             D
Souls wet and broke, lost and floating around


[Chorus]~
A                   A
Keep your head down keep your voice down

    G             D
Ohh listen to the sound

C              C
All the races, all the faces

                  G            D      A
Just might find a winner lying on the ground

A
Learn to take it, try to shake it

Can't fake it now, now

From the cradle you've been labeled

C                    G        D     B
About as stable as a drunk on shaky ground

[Verse 1]~
Em       C              G
Feeling my way through the darkness

Em       C              G
Guided by a beating heart

Em       C              G
I can't tell where the journey will end

Em       C              G
But I know where it starts

Em       C              G           D
They tell me I'm too young to understand

Em       C              G           D
They say I'm caught up in a dream

Em       C              G          
Well life will pass me by if I don't open up my eyes

Em          C       G    D
Well that's fine by me


[Chorus]~

So wake me up when it's all over

Em      C            G             D
I tried carrying the weight of the world

Em    C             G    D
But I only have two hands

Em     C                 G               D
Hope I get the chance to travel the world

Em    C              G    D
But I don't have any plans

Em     C            G                 D
I wish that I could stay forever this young

Em  C                  G   D
Not afraid to close my eyes

Em       C              G      D
Life's a game made for everyone

Em  C           G    D
And love is the prize

So wake me up when it's all over

[Intro on D]

[Verse 1]~
D                     A          D
Staring at a cross of splintered wood

   Bm                       A
My sins washed away through Christ’s own blood

       Bm        D               G               Bm
All my blessings gone, though my mind it wanders on

      D          A    D
Going home in my memory

            G
Between the years and the miles

     D
I am broken and down

         Bm                   A
Bless me father, where do I begin

      Bm           D
On my hands and my knees

     G             Bm
I go crawling back home

   D        A          D
To find absolution within


[Verse 2]~
D                       A         D
Eighteen years old, but not yet a man

     Bm              A
With misplaced ideologies

     Bm          G         D
Recognizing only God as my equal

                 A             D
Left home and disgraced my family

                              A        D
With a dream in my head and a restless soul

        Bm              A
Sensing I would soon be free

          Bm                 D
I took to heart my granddads fables

                             A    D
They made up the core of my identity

    Bm                 A
For eight long years I tramped through the fallout

   Bm           A
Of nuclear society

    Bm   D        G      D         Bm        A    D
The underclass forgotten mass in a nation of revelry


[Chorus]~
D         G        D        A
Fare thee well, my old dear friend

    D              A       Bm         G
The road goes ever on, but I am going home

        D        A     D
Back to where it all began


[Verse 3]~
     D              A   D
In a filthy rundown tenement

  Bm                      A
I set out to spread God’s name

              Bm         G         D
I thought the word would start the fire

       G           A       D
And my voice would fan the flame

                                A       D
But I soon learned that in this hopelessness

        Bm                 A
A great many things went unsaid

         Bm              A      D
My first lesson was that good intentions

                      A        D
Aren’t gonna keep you warm and fed

Bm                        A
With no recourse I took a job at the packing house

   Bm                 A
No one who I could edify

      Bm          G         D
As my dreams like leaves in autumn

    G         A       D
Disappeared before my eyes


[Chorus]~
D         G        D        A
Fare thee well, my old dear friend

    D              A       Bm         G

  Am        E/Am     D         G
I Heard the Bells on Christmas Day

      Am    E/Am   F#/G   G
Their old familiar carols play

    Dm       G         Em    A
And wild and sweet the words repeat

    C                    F    E  Am
Of peace on earth, good will to men


  Am           E/Am   D       G
I thought how, as the day had come

    Am       E/Am   F#/G    G
The belfries of all Christendom

    Dm     G           Em     C
Had rolled along the unbroken song

   C                    F    E  Am
Of peace on earth, good will to men


    C            Dm       G
And in despair I bowed my head

       C              F         G
"There is no peace on earth," I said

     A7                 Dm        G
"For hate is strong and mocks the song

   C                    F    G  Am   
Of peace on earth, good will to men"


     Am         E/Am       D        G
Then pealed the bells more loud and deep

Am     E/Am      F#/G        G
God is not dead, nor doth he sleep

    Dm          G         Em    A
The wrong shall fail, the right prevail

     C                    F    E  Am
With peace on earth, good will to men"

C                       D           Em
Sacred waters running through our land

D                       Em
on this rock we gotta make a stand.

C                            D           Em
Time is slipping, slipping through our hands

D                      Em
say a prayer for the promised land


[Verse 2]~
       C                       D           Em
They poisoned our water, you know it's a sin

D                             Em
The spirits are talking but they're not listening

          C                         D       Em
They're taking from the earth and never giving

D                               Em
They won't stop till there is nothing left for living

At Standing Rock!
