Guts Over Fear

Accordi Guts Over Fear

             
SOLb
Feels like a close, it's coming to
        
MIbm
Fuck am I gonna do?
         
SIbm              
LAb/DO
It's too late to start over
                        
REb
This is the only thing I, thing I know

            
SOLb
Sometimes I feel like all I ever do is

Find different ways to word the same, old song
MIbm7
 Ever since I came along
         
MIbm6+
From the day the song called 

"Hi! My Name Is" dropped
SIbm
 Started thinking my name was fault

'Cause anytime things went wrong
LAb/DO
I was the one who they would blame it on
          
REb
The media made me the, uh, 
      
SOLb      
equivalent of a modern-day Genghis Khan
                                
MIbm
Tried to argue it was only entertainment, dawg

Gangster? Nah, courageous balls
                 
SIbm
Had to change my style
                            
They said I'm way too soft
                                 
LAb/DO
And I sound like AZ and Nas, out came the claws
                       
And the fangs been out since then
                                         
SOLb
But up until the instant that I've went against it
        
It was ingrained in me that I wouldn't amount 
         
MIbm7
to a shitstain I thought
                     
MIbm6+
No wonder I had to unlearn 

everything my brain was taught
SIbm
Do I really belong in this game? I pondered
   
I just wanna play my part, 
              
LAb/DO
should I make waves or not?
                        
REb
So back and forth in my brain 

the tug of war wages on
    
SOLb
And I don't wanna seem ungrateful

Or disrespect the artform I was raised upon
MIbm
 But sometimes you gotta take a loss

And have people rub it in your face 
               
SIbm
before you get made pissed off

And keep pluggin', it's your only outlet
              
LAb/DO
And your only outfit so you know 
                 
REb
they gonna talk about it

Better find a way to counter 
             
SOLb
it quick and make it, ah

Feel like I've already said 
                 
MIbm7
this a kabillion eighty times
                     
MIbm6+
How many times can I say the same 

thing different ways that rhyme?
SIbm
 What I really wanna say is
                                             
LAb/DO
If there's anyone else that can relate to my story

Bet you feel the same way I felt

When I was in the same place you are, 

when I was afraid to...

       
SOLb
I was a...
                         
LAb
Afraid to make a single sound
                                           
SIbm
Afraid I would never find a way out, out, out
                  
Afraid I'd never be found
REb                          
FAm 
SOLb
 I didn't wanna go another round
                                   
LAb
An angry man's power will shut you up
                                        
SIbm
Trip wires fill this house with tip-toe love
                              
REb
Run out of excuses with every word
                    
So here I am and I will not run...

Guts over fear
           
MIbm
I shed a tear
            
SOLb                
LAb
For all the times I let you push me 'round
  
SIbm  
I let you keep me down
         
MIbm    
SOLb
Now I got, guts over fear

Feels like a close, it's coming to

Fuck am I gonna do?
         
SIbm
It's too late to start over
DOm                      
REb
 This is the only thing I, thing I know

                   
SOLb
I know what it was like I was there once

Single parents, hate your appearance
        
MIbm
Did you struggle to find your place in this world?

And the pain spawns all the anger on
SIbm
But it wasn't until I put the pain in songs

Learned who to aim it on
              
LAb/DO
That I made a spark, started to spit hard as shit
        
REb
Learned how to harness it while the reins were off
SOLb
  And there was a lot of bizarre shit, 

but the crazy part
    
MIbm
Was soon as I stopped saying, I gave a fuck

Haters started to appreciate my art
SIbm
 And it just breaks my heart 

to look at all the pain I've caused
                    
LAb/DO     
But what am I gonna do when the rage is gone?
                  
REb
And the lights go out in that trailer park?
           
SOLb
And the window is closing and there's nowhere else 

that I can go with flows
                                       
MIbm
And I'm frozen 'cause there's no more emotion 

for me to pull from
                                 
Just a bunch of playful songs that I make for fun
SIbm
 So, to the break of dawn here 

I go recycling the same, old song
LAb/DO              
But I'd rather make "Not Afraid 2"
           
REb
Than make another motherfuckin' "We Made You", uh
SOLb
Now, I don't wanna seem indulgent

When I discuss my lows and my highs
     
MIbm
My demise and my uprise, pray to God

I just open enough eyes later on
    
SIbm
And gave you the supplies and the tools

To hopefully use that'll make you strong
 
LAb/DO
Enough to lift yourself up 
                   
REb
when you feel like I felt

'Cause I can't explain to y'all 
         
SOLb
how dang exhausted my legs felt

Just havin' to balance my dang self
        
MIbm
When on eggshells, I was made to walk

But thank you, ma, 'cause that gave me the
SIbm
Strength to cause Shady-mania, 

so when they empty that stadium
         
LAb/DO
At least I made it out of that house
                    
REb
And a found a place in this world 

when the day was done
   
SOLb
So this is for every kid who all's they ever did

Was dreamt of one day just getting accepted
    
MIbm
I represent him or her, anyone similar

You are the reason that I made this song
SIbm
 And everything you're scared to say 

don't be afraid to say no more
          
LAb/DO                             
REb
From this day forward, just let them a-holes talk
                            
SOLb
Take it with a grain of salt 

and eat their fucking faces off
                  
MIbm
The legend of the angry blonde 
                              
LAb
lives on through you when I'm gone

And to think I was a

       
SOLb
I was a...
                         
LAb
Afraid to make a single sound
                                           
SIbm
Afraid I would never find a way out, out, out
