Verse 1:
       G+G          D MajorD
We've got nothing to fear...but fear itself?
Bb majorBb                 G+G    D MajorD
Not pain, not failure, not fatal tragedy?
Bb majorBb              G+G      D MajorD
Not the faulty units in this mad machinery?
Bb majorBb               G+G     D MajorD
Not the broken contacts in emotional chemistry?
     A minorAm       E minorEm
With an iron fist in a velvet glove
     C majorC
We are sheltered under the gun
     A minorAm        E minorEm
In the glory game on the power train
 C majorC           A minorAm | E minorEm | C majorC | C majorC |
Thy kingdom's will be done

Verse 2:
     G+G        D MajorD
Can any part of life be larger than life?
Bb majorBb              G+G  D MajorD
Even love must be limited by time
  Bb majorBb                   G+G    D MajorD
And those who push us down that they might climb
  Bb majorBb                G+G   D MajorD
Is any killer worth more than his crime?
    A minorAm        E minorEm
Like a steely blade in a silken sheath
  C majorC
We don't see what they're made of
    A minorAm            E minorEm
They shout about love, but when push comes to shove
 C majorC                   A minorAm | E minorEm | C majorC | C majorC |
They live for the things they're afraid of

     Eb MajorEb        FF     Eb MajorEb      C majorC  Bb majorBb G+G     | G+G |
And the knowledge that they fear is a weapon to be used a - gainst them

And the things that he fears are a weapon to be held a - gainst him
