[Verse 1]
        Em
What if I don't need debating
           G               D
If I'm not healed by negotiating
           C
If I don't need to be a shooting star
   G               F#
If I don't need a fast car
            Em
If nothing changes when I whine and moan
           G                 D
If no one cares if I pay my loan
           C
What if I shake hands with doom
           G             D
Or thrash another hotel room

Em G Bm
C  G Bm

            Em
What if the sky is always moonlit
        G                 D
When it all comes down to it
         C
And no trillion zillion dollars
      G                    F#
Can break those chains and collars
         Em
What if love's just methadone
        G                D
If the battle's already won
         C
If I'm clean or in a purple haze
        G                   D
If my sleeves don't hide an ace


[Chorus]
Em

G  D        C
Don't be afraid
G  D        Em
Don't be afraid
G  D        C
Don't be afraid
G  D        Em
Don't be afraid


[Verse 2]
          Em
What if there's no Cayman sunshine
    G                   D
To make me believe I'm fine
              C
What if I'm stuck in immigration
          G                  F#
And the train just left the station
              Em
What if you think I think I'm Davy Crockett
        G                         D
If I'm caught with bullets in my pocket
           C
What if I read in a crystal ball
        G                      D
That I better put an end to it all

Don't be afraid

Don't be afraid

Don't be afraid
G  D        Em
Don't be afraid
