Waves Of Fear Chords by Lou Reed

Waves Of Fear chords by Lou Reed

Guitar chords with lyrics

Verse 1:

         G                   D
Waves of fear, attack in the night
         A                    D
Waves if revulsion, sickening sights
                  G                            D
My heart's nearly bursting, my chest's choking tight
         G              G
Waves of fear, waves of fear


Verse 2:

         G                  D
Waves of fear, squat on the floor
                 A                   D
Looking for some pill, the liquor is gone
                    G                  D
Blood trips from my nose, I can barely breathe
         A                       D
Waves of fear, I'm too scared to leave


Chorus:

         G    D         A    D
Waves of fear, waves of fear
         G    D         A    D
Waves of fear, waves of fear


Bridge:

    D
I'm too afraid to use the phone
    D
I'm too afraid to put the light on
    D
I'm so afraid I've lost control
    D
I'm suffocating without a word


Verse 3:

           G                    D
Crazy with sweat, spittle on my jaw
                  A                         D
What's that funny noise, what's that on the floor
         G                  D
Waves of fear, pulsing with death
           A                         D
I curse my tremors, I jump at my own step
               G                     D
I cringe at my terror, I hate my own smell
               A                     D
I know where I must be, I must be in hell


Chorus:

         G    D         A    D
Waves of fear, waves of fear
         G    D         A    D
Waves of fear, waves of fear
