Steel Up chords by Taylor Giacoma

[Intro]

Dadd2


[Verse 1]

                     Dadd2/E
Why do I fear what I am

                       Dadd2/F#
Why do I fear what I'm not

                     Gadd2              Dadd2
Why do I fear what I might or might not do

Why do I fear my own

Dadd2/E          Dadd2/F#
Capability to succeed

                     Gadd2     D
Why do I fear my own greatness

                          D/C
They say that fear is the only

                       Bm7
Thing worth fearing at all

                      G7
And I have long been afraid

       A7     D
Of the fear I fear


[Chorus]

D
Steel up and do it

       E
Fear is not a good excuse

          Em              D
And there ain't no reason now

            A7        A7/C#  D
To not just go for it

Steel up and do it

           E
You've got nothing left to lose

         Em
Except a long time gone

    D               A7
And nothing done to show for it

Bm  E7  G  D


[Verse 2]

D                     D/E
Why do I build myself up

                     D/F#
So I can take myself down

                     G
Why do I contemplate failure

                     D
Of things I've never done

                       D/E
Why do I spend time concerned

                     D/F#
About the awful consequences

                G       D
Of hypothetical actions

                  D/C
Another grim speculation

                       Bm7
Of outcomes I'll never know

                    G7
Another nail in the coffin

       A7         D
Of the freedom to dream


[Chorus]

D
Steel up and do it

               E
What's left of life is there to use

                Em                 D
Don't spend the whole time sitting wondering

         A7
What you might have done

             A7/C#      D
And what you might have been

Steel up and do it

           E
You've got nothing left to lose

         Em
Except a long time gone

    D               A7
And nothing done to show for it

Bm  E7  G  D


[Bridge]

D                D/C
When we let hope die

                  Bm7
We orphan all our ambitions

                             G7
They'll starve to death on denial

            A7           D
And they'll drown in our tears

                   D/C
What if I, what if you

                      Bm7
What if we all didn't care

                                  G7
Would have could have should have might have

     A7   D
If I only


[Chorus]

D
Steel up and do it

                E
There's nothing standing in your way

       Em                  D            A7  D
Except yourself and your excuses of why not

Steel up and do it

           E
You've got nothing left to say

             Em            D
You know you owe it to yourself

               A7
To give this a shot

[Coda]

D            E     Em   D    A7  D
Steel up and do it      Mmm

Steel up and do it

          E
You've got nothing left to lose now

       Em    D  A7  Bm
No you don't

               E7
Ain't no use denying it now

            G          D     Bm
It's been a long, long road

                   E7
Go on home now and sit yourself down

             G           D
