The Fear


------------------------------------------ Lily Allen - The Fear ------------------------------------------ Tabbed by: Laurence Wilson 15.07.09 Tuning: E A D G B e Capo: 1st Fret Apparently, there's a 'correct' live acoustic version of this song. This isn't it. This is my take on the song, how I play it. I think it fits the recorded version a little better than the other tabs I've checked out. The Asus2 chords in brackets mimic the vocal harmony and aren't entirely necessary.

C#m7 D6sus2 (Asus2) 'cos I'm being taken over by the fear Life's about film stars and less about mothers It's all about fast cars and cussing each other But it doesn't matter 'cos I'm packing plastic And that's what makes my life so fucking fantastic And I am a weapon of massive consumption And it's not my fault, it's how I'm programmed to function I'll look at The Sun and I'll look in The Mirror I'm on the right track, yeah we're onto a winner I don't know what's right and what's real anymore And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore When do you think it will all become clear? 'cos I'm being taken over by the fear Forget about guns and forget ammunition 'cos I'm killin' them all on my own little mission Now I'm not a saint but I'm not a sinner Now everything's cool as long as I'm getting thinner I don't know what's right and what's real anymore And I don't know how I'm meant to feel anymore When do you think it will all become clear? 'cos I'm being taken over by the fear
