Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9          E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
    We've been testing you     and you failed
E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9                        E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
     To see how long that you could sit with the truth, but you bailed
      E minorEm              Cadd9Cadd9
And I don't think you even recognize the loss of control
      E minorEm          Cadd9Cadd9
And I don't think you even see it in yourself
     E minorEm              Cadd9Cadd9
See every one of us is counting dice that we didn't roll
     E minorEm            Cadd9Cadd9
And the loser is the last to ask for help

Chorus:

G+G              D MajorD
  Be afraid, be very afraid
D MajorD       Cadd9Cadd9
But do it anyway
     G+G
Do it anyway

Verse 2:

E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9           E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
   The stage belongs to you, you feel like a star
     E minorEm  G+G  Cadd9Cadd9               E minorEm  G+G  Cadd9Cadd9
You can bark and snap like a dog at the man who just tuned your guitar
       E minorEm              Cadd9Cadd9
And I don't think you even recognize the kid in the wings
       E minorEm             Cadd9Cadd9
And I dont think you even see her in yourself
       E minorEm               Cadd9Cadd9
She looks to you for what to do with all her delicate dreams
        E minorEm           Cadd9Cadd9
But you're too terrified to be of any help

Chorus:

G+G              D MajorD
  Be afraid, be very afraid
D MajorD       Cadd9Cadd9
But do it anyway
     G+G
Do it anyway

G+G              D MajorD
  Be afraid, be very afraid
D MajorD       Cadd9Cadd9
But do it anyway
     G+G
Do it anyway

Bridge:
     E minorEm            Cadd9Cadd9      G+G
We don't take requests, we won't shut up and sing
      E minorEm         Cadd9Cadd9         D MajorD
You tell the truth enough, you find it rhymes with everything

Verse 3:

E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9             E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
      We've been testing you..     and you failed
       E minorEm  G+G  Cadd9Cadd9                   E minorEm G+G Cadd9Cadd9
To see how long that you could hold it in before you screamed, but you only exhaled
      E minorEm              Cadd9Cadd9
And I don't think you even recognize the sound of your voice
      E minorEm                 Cadd9Cadd9
When it's blasting through the speakers in the sky
      E minorEm                  Cadd9Cadd9
And if your words add up to nothing, then you're making a choice
     E minorEm              Cadd9Cadd9
To sing a cover when we need a battle cry

Chorus:

G+G              D MajorD
  Be afraid, be very afraid
D MajorD       Cadd9Cadd9
But do it anyway
     G+G
Do it anyway

G+G              D MajorD
  Be afraid, be very afraid
D MajorD       Cadd9Cadd9
But do it anyway
     G+G
Do it anyway

G+G              D MajorD
  Be afraid, be very afraid
D MajorD       Cadd9Cadd9
But do it anyway
     G+G
Do it anyway

G+G              D MajorD
  Be afraid, be very afraid
D MajorD       Cadd9Cadd9
But do it anyway
     G+G
Do it anyway
