       Em7        G          C
These things that I've been told
     F
Can rearrange
   Em7        G
My world, my doubt
    C        F
In time, but inside out

Chorus:
Em7          G
This is the working hour
        C                 F
We are paid by those who learn by our mistakes
Em7          G
This is the working hour
        C                 F
We are paid by those who learn by our mistakes
Eh eh eh

This day and age for all
And not for one
All lies and secrets
Put on, put on and on

Chorus

Fear is such a vicious thing
It wraps me up in chains

What this fear is about
     A          D
Find out, find out
Bm                 F#m
What this fear is about

Find out, find out
What this fear is about
