CWhen I arrFived in my oGwn set of clCothes,
CI was half a world Faway from Gmy home.
And I was Fhunted by the wolves and I was Gheckled by the Ccrows.
CDarlin', do not Ffear what you donG't really kCnow.G  C  
Alongside my innocence, I laid in bed awake.
Conflicted in these chains with the impetus of age.
But, like a phantom, she crept across the floor and out the window.
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.
From its place on the mantle my heart and was taken down
scattered in a thousand little pieces on the ground
And out below the street lamp like an orphan with a halo
CDarlin', do not Ffear what you donG't really kCnow
BRIDGE 1:
C'Cause it won't FlasGt - Cthe worries will FpasGs.A  
AmAll your troubles they don'Emt stand a chAmance.
AmAnd someFtimes it takes more than a liGfetime to knCow.
CDarlin', do not Ffear what you Gdon't really Cknow.
C  G   C   G   F   G  C   G  C   CM7   C
Your confidence is full as your faith etched in stone.
And neither could comfort you from the wild unknown.
So, bury your burning hatred like a hatchet in the snow.
Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know.
If you have a broken heart or a battered soul,
Find something to hold on to or to let go
To help you through the hard nights like a flask filled with hope.
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.
BRIDGE 2:
'Cause it won't last - your worries will pass.
All your troubles they don't stand a chance.
And it always hurts the worst when it's the ones we love the most.
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.
Sometimes your path is marked in the sky.
Sometimes you're forced to fit in between the lines.
Sometimes all that you can do is say no.
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.
I said, when I arrived in my own set of clothes,
I was half a world away from my home.
And I was hunted by the wolves and I was heckled by the crows.
Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.
I said, Darlin' do not Ffear what you Gdon't really Cknow.
We said, DarliFn' Gdo not fear...

And I was hunted by the wolves and I was heckled by the crows.

C F G C G C

Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.

Alongside my innocence, I laid in bed awake.

Conflicted in these chains with the impetus of age.

But, like a phantom, she crept across the floor and out the window.

Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.

From its place on the mantle my heart and was taken down

scattered in a thousand little pieces on the ground

And out below the street lamp like an orphan with a halo

C F G C

Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know

Your confidence is full as your faith etched in stone.

And neither could comfort you from the wild unknown.

So, bury your burning hatred like a hatchet in the snow.

Darlin' do not fear what you don't really know.

If you have a broken heart or a battered soul,

Find something to hold on to or to let go

To help you through the hard nights like a flask filled with hope.

Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.

BRIDGE 2:

'Cause it won't last - your worries will pass.

And it always hurts the worst when it's the ones we love the most.

Sometimes your path is marked in the sky.

Sometimes you're forced to fit in between the lines.

Sometimes all that you can do is say no.

Darlin', do not fear what you don't really know.
