[Verse 1]
Dadd2/E
Why do I fear what I am
Dadd2/F#
Why do I fear what I'm not
Gadd2 Dadd2
Why do I fear what I might or might not do
Why do I fear my own
Dadd2/E Dadd2/F#
Capability to succeed
Gadd2 D
Why do I fear my own greatness
D/C
They say that fear is the only
Bm7
Thing worth fearing at all
G7
And I have long been afraid
A7 D
Of the fear I fear
[Chorus]
D
Steel up and do it
E
Fear is not a good excuse
Em D
And there ain't no reason now
A7 A7/C# D
To not just go for it
Steel up and do it
E
You've got nothing left to lose
Em
Except a long time gone
D A7
And nothing done to show for it
Bm E7 G D
[Verse 2]
D D/E
Why do I build myself up
D/F#
So I can take myself down
G
Why do I contemplate failure
D
Of things I've never done
D/E
Why do I spend time concerned
D/F#
About the awful consequences
G D
Of hypothetical actions
D/C
Another grim speculation
Bm7
Of outcomes I'll never know
G7
Another nail in the coffin
A7 D
Of the freedom to dream
[Chorus]
D
Steel up and do it
E
What's left of life is there to use
Em D
Don't spend the whole time sitting wondering
A7
What you might have done
A7/C# D
And what you might have been
Steel up and do it
E
You've got nothing left to lose
Em
Except a long time gone
D A7
And nothing done to show for it
Bm E7 G D
[Bridge]
D D/C
When we let hope die
Bm7
We orphan all our ambitions
G7
They'll starve to death on denial
A7 D
And they'll drown in our tears
D/C
What if I, what if you
Bm7
What if we all didn't care
G7
Would have could have should have might have
A7 D
If I only
[Chorus]
D
Steel up and do it
E
There's nothing standing in your way
Em D A7 D
Except yourself and your excuses of why not
Steel up and do it
E
You've got nothing left to say
Em D
You know you owe it to yourself
A7
To give this a shot

No you don't

Ain't no use denying it now
G D Bm
It's been a long, long road
E7
Go on home now and sit yourself down
G D
You've got a long way to go
