Fear and Trembling Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[D][G][D][A][F#][Bm][G][D][A]
There's [D]a moose head hanging from a wall

[Verse 1]
[G]
at a bar
[D]At a nondescri[A]pt part of [Bm]the street
There's a [G]long-haired boy
boy making [D]eyes at a John
[A]By the lam[G]plights hung from
[D]the beams
We're at the stumbling phase
of the mid[G]night waltz
[D]At a boo[A]kend to the
[F#]weirdest of week[Bm]s
Me an[G]d Arnold walk,
pretty [D]hammered and [A]crying
"Hey, I'll [G]miss you man,
[D]when you leave"
Hey, I'll [G]miss you [D]when you leave
'Cause there are feelings that are strong

[Verse 2]
[G]And there are ones
that are mixed
[D]At the dawn of [A]my young life's eclipse
[Bm]I was [G]a boy once,
now I'm a [D]kind-of-adult
[A]Catching Catching Catching [G]up
on the cool shit I [D]missed
'Cause we were raised
where the pastors
They danced [G]in the [D]aisles
[A]With a moshpit up [F#]front full of youth[Bm]s
[A]So if [G]faith is to lose the [D]mind to win [A]God
Then I [G]guess I got nothing [D]to prove
[G]I guess I got nothing to [D]prove

[Interlude 1]
[G][D]

[G][D]

[Verse 3]
I was [D]waiting on the future,
but the future only came
In the form of greying matter,
in my only father's brain
I'm not [G]afraid of acquiescing
to the trials of his old age
But of missing all the humanness
he'll show when I'm away
And the [D]part of me unspoken and
the part that's self-assured
Are Are belligerents divergent
in a psychic civil war
But I'm a cri[G]er and a fighter,
not a faker and a fraud
So if losing my religion is the
way to finding God
Then light [D]it up,

[Verse 4]
the shad[A]ow's [G]in my [D]blood
"Oh, a weary heart", they [Bm]say,
"it shatters it [G]all"
So light it up,
[A]it'[D]s bound to be much wor[G]se
[D]When the[A]y get, get, get,
get back to the summer
[G]If they get, get, get,
get back to the summer at all
[D][G][A][D][G]

[Verse 5]
[D]
There's an omen now of frailty,
hanging heavy from my face
A kind of existential loneliness
that struts and frets a stage
And dis[G]appears unsatiated
by the rhythms of the day
Still illuminating nothing but
the love I turn away
And I still care [D]about the present
and the weight of circumstance
To the muckraking of cowards
and a symphony of sass
While [G]I have questions of mortality,
the clear and present vast
They just yell the words "pretentious",
"with no clarity or class"

[Verse 6]
So light 'em up[D],
[A]their shadows [D]in my [G]blood
[D]"Oh, a weary heart",
they say, "it [Bm]shatters [G]it all"
So line 'em up[A],
it's bound [D]to be much [G]worse[D][G]
Oh, [A]when they get, get, get,
get back to the summer
[G]If they get, get, get,
get back to the summer
When they [A]get, get back to the summer
[G]If they get, get, get,
get back to the summer [D]at all
One [G]time

[Interlude 2]
[D][G]
[D]

[Verse 7]
[G]I feel everything, yeah, I feel it [D]all
And I feel it in my bones
and in my fucking skull
[G]I feel everything, hey, I feel it all
And I never [D]look back, oh,
and I feel it in my heart attack
[G]And I feel it all, I feel eve[D]rything
And I know it's weird but
I fought the fear and trembling
[G]'Cause I feel it all, I feel eve[D]rything
And I never looked back, this fear,

[Verse 8]
this fear is trembling
[D]
And I waited on forever,
but forever never came
Just a latent sense of loyalty
to the things I love in vain
And now [G]I'm terrified of loving
[A]'cause [G]I'm terrified of pain
And of missing out on human
things by cowering away
[D]So light [G]'em up

[Verse 9]
[A],
those shadows [G]in my blood
[D]"Oh, a weary heart",
they [A]say, "it shatters it [G]all"
So light 'em up,
[A]it'[D]s bound to be much wor[G]se[D]
Oh, when they get, [A]get, get,
get back to the summer
[G]If they get, get, get,
get back to the summer
When they [A]get, get back to the summer
[G]If they get, get, get,

[Outro 1]
get back to the summer at all
[D]
