Face Your Fears (Feat. Donna Lynne Champlin)

   C
I used to be afraid
      Gm7           C
Of so much in this world
      F
I’d tiptoe through each day, like some
Fm/G#
Frightened little girl
                 C/G
Then one day I realized I can’t just
E             E7/G#      Am
Run and hide from life
A#maj7
Now if someone pulls a gun on me
F/G           G
I pull out my knife!

(I don’t follow.) Sit on my lap like I’m Santa and listen to me

           C
Face your fears
           C7/A#
Stare them down
           F/A
Don’t be scared
            Fm/G#
Stand your ground

            C/E            Fmaj7
‘Cause nothing is as scary
     G  E7/G#  Am
As it appears

If a bear runs at you in the woods

Don’t run away.  (Yeah, I’m back here, sing to me.)
        Dm
Look it deep in the eyes
         Dm/C
Put your hand on its chest, and say
Dm            C/E Fmaj7/G
“Bear, I’m not afraid!”    (Well that’s just dangerous.)
          F             C/E
If you’re in a burning building
    E7/G#         Am
And smoke is everywhere
Dm7                 C/E
     Keep calm, take a deep breath
         Dm C/E Fmaj7/G
And stay right there!      (That’s not how smoke or fire works.)
