(D)Can’t you feel the fears that I’m feel in’ to (A)day?
If the (D)but ton is pushed, there’s no run ning a (A)way.
There’ll be (D)no one to save with the (G)world in a (A)grave.
Take a (D)look a round you, boy.
It’s (G)bound to scare you, (A)boy.
And you tell me (G)o ver and o ver and o ver a gain, my friend,
