Rush - The Weapon: chords

           G                   D
We've got nothing to fear but fear itself?
A#                                 G     D
Not pain, not failure, not fatal tragedy?
A#                            G           D
Not the faulty units in this mad machinery?
A#                           G         D
Not the broken contacts in emotional chemistry?
        Am              Em
With an iron fist in a velvet glove
         C
We are sheltered under the gun
         Am               Em
In the glory game on the power train
  C                    Am Em C
Thy kingdom's will be done

          D#            F
And the things that we fear are
   D#           C   A# G
a weapon to be held against us

Chorus
      D
He's not afraid of your judgment
             Am
He knows of horrors worse than your Hell
        G
He's a little bit afraid of dying
           Am          G            F   E D
But he's a lot more afraid of your lying
          D#            F
And the things that he fears are
  D#            C   A# G
a weapon to be held against him

Can any part of life be larger than life?
Even love must be limited by time
And those who push us down that they might climb
Is any killer worth more than his crime?
Like a steely blade in a silken sheath
We don't see what they're made of
They shout about love, but when push comes to shove
They live for the things they're afraid of
And the knowledge that they fear is
a weapon to be used a - gainst them
