The Only Thing I Fear

Joshua Burnside


Tom: Am

    F
Oh, when I was younger
       Am7               G
And my parents were out working
      F
Hear voices in the attic
  Am7         G
Faces in the TV static
F
Tigers in the garden
  Am7            G
Ghosts under the stairs and
  F
Under my bed

Behind the curtain
 Am7          G
Always feel a presence lurking

F Am7 G

[Chorus]
F
Now that I am older
 Am7              G              F
The only thing I fear is myself
          Am7            G            F
Yeah, the voices in the attic were mine

Am7 G

[Verse 2]
        F
Well, I don't know what I did last night
  Am7                  G
I don't know what I said
    F
To make you run a mile from me
        Am7            G
There's thunder in my head
     F
Oh, when the day is dying

I take my potion
    Am7              G
And float above that endless ocean
     F
But careful friend, this useful tonic
     Am7             G                   F
Will boil the blood inside your stomach

[Chorus]
         Am7         G              F
And the only thing I fear is myself
       Am7                G        F
Yeah, the voices in the attic were mine
           Am7           G       F
Yeah, the only thing I fear is myself

F Am7 G

[Bridge]
        F
Well, I just can't find
 Am7         G
Peace in my soul
       F                  Am7 G
No, I just can't find it

[Verse 3]
           F
Well, this persistent illusion
     Am7           G
That everything is moving
  F
Forward as the weather vane
    Am7           G       F
It spins, spins, spins
