Chords with lyrics
[Verse]
A augmentedA G+G
My mother's afraid of the subway
A augmentedA
It's a living bad dream
A augmentedA G+G
I hold her hands as the doors close
A augmentedA
And she pales and stifles a scream
A augmentedA G+G
Ali's afraid of Ad-libbing
A augmentedA
Of improvising at jams
A augmentedA G+G
She is not very happy right now
A augmentedA
And spends all her money on grams
A augmentedA G+G
Ade is afraid of commitment
A augmentedA
So Carla dumped him today
A augmentedA G+G
She was very disappointed
A augmentedA
She was hoping he'd beg her to stay
A augmentedA G+G
And Ayo he just wants a girlfriend
A augmentedA
He's afraid of dying alone
A augmentedA G+G
But he doesn't go out very much
A augmentedA
Sits at home a lot getting stoned
[Chorus]
A augmentedA G+G
You see fear is only holding us back
A augmentedA
Look closely amongst all your peers
A augmentedA G+G
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track
A augmentedA
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear
[Verse]

A augmentedA
And when they finish she sleeps on the floor
A augmentedA G+G

A augmentedA
But give it away he will not
A augmentedA G+G
His mother abandoned him at ten
A augmentedA
It's a pain he has never forgot

A augmentedA
Her sentence is often cut half
A augmentedA G+G
You will never get her opinion
A augmentedA
She's afraid that people might laugh
A augmentedA G+G
And I am afraid of sharks
A augmentedA
I will not swim out past my hand
A augmentedA G+G
Sometimes I worry my boyfriend will die
A augmentedA
My first love is already dead
[Chorus]
A augmentedA G+G
You see fear is only holding us back
A augmentedA
Look closely amongst all your peers
A augmentedA G+G
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track
A augmentedA
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear

Candy is having a baby

And march to a different tune."
A augmentedA G+G
Sasha's afraid of her Marco
A augmentedA
She thinks that it's all her fault
A augmentedA G+G
But if he did what he does to a stranger
A augmentedA
He'd be locked up and charged with assault

A augmentedA G+G
You see fear is only holding us back
A augmentedA
Look closely amongst all your peers
A augmentedA G+G
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track
A augmentedA
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear
A augmentedA G+G
You see fear is only holding us back
A augmentedA
Look closely amongst all your peers
A augmentedA G+G
There is usually one thing that keeps us off track
A augmentedA
It is fear, it is fear, it is fear
