Rush - Lock And Key: chords

E
I don't want to face the killer instinct
Face it in you or me

G#m         F#/A#
We carry a sensitive cargo
B               C#
Below the waterline
G#m             F#/A#
Ticking like a time bomb
         B         C#
With a primitive design

Behind the finer feelings
This civilized veneer
The heart of a lonely hunter
Guards a dangerous frontier

D#               C#/F
The balance can sometimes fail
F#                       G#  A#  F#
Strong emotions can tip the scale

Chorus:
G#m                       F#/A#
Don't want to silence a desperate voice
B                 C#
For the sake of security
G#m                     F#/A#
No one wants to make a terrible choice
E
On the price of being free
I don't want to face the killer instinct
Face it in you or me
So we keep it under lock and key
Lock and key

It's not a matter of mercy
It's not a matter of laws
Plenty of people will kill you
For some fanatical cause
It's not a matter of conscience
A search for probable cause
It's just a matter of instinct
A matter of fatal flaws

No reward for resistance
No assistance, no applause

Chorus:
I don't want to face the killer instinct
Face it in you or me
So we keep it under lock and key
I don't want to face the killer instinct
Face it in you or me
So we keep it under lock and key
Lock and key

Don't want to silence a desperate voice
For the sake of security
No one wants to make a terrible choice
On the price of being free
I don't want to face the killer instinct
Face it in you or me
So we keep it under lock and key
I don't want to face the killer instinct
Face it in you or me
So we keep it under lock and key
Lock and key

We don't want to be victims
On that we all agree
So we lock up the killer instinct
And throw away the key
