[Verse 1]
E         G
Winter is coming
      A            Bbsus2
I see birds flying south
F#         A
I'm saying something
      F#          F
I got words in my mouth
E          G
I spoke to nothing
    A         Bbsus2
And nothing replied:
 F#       A
"Me being something
      F#             F
Isn't something I've tried"


[Chorus]
G         D             E
Don't be afraid of this life
G         D             E   E
Don't be afraid of this life


[Verse 2]
E          G
Out in the forest
A         Bbsus2
Out of my mind
 F#       A
Another melodist
       F#        F
Trying hard to unwind
E      G
Old Dionysus
      A        Bbsus2
Is in deadly decline
    F#          A
The poor people can't afford
  F#        F
A bottle o' wine


[Chorus]
G         D             E
Don't be afraid of this life
G         D             E
Don't be afraid of this life
G         D             F         C            A   A
Don't be afraid of this endless arcade that is life

[Chorus]
G         D             E
Don't be afraid of this life
G         D             E
Don't be afraid of this life
G         D            F            C
Don't be afraid of the truth you mislaid
       G            D
Of the dreams you delayed
       F              C
Of the price that you paid
       G           D
Of the love you displayed
        F         C            A   A
Of this endless arcade that is life
