[Verse 1]
       Am                Dm
As the wind whips ‘round
                   Gm
I take a breath for victory
   Bb
(sigh)
       Am
Wanna play tag,
                     Dm
or wave your white flag?
                        G     Bb
'Cause you’ll never touch me!

[Pre-Chorus 1]
          Am        Dm
King of hearts, all in
(all in...)
                      Gm
It’s not a sin to wanna win
             Bb
(sin to wanna win)
             F
Can’t see me flying like a bee,
Abm
black and yellow energy
                   Gm
Only me on my team, naturally

[Chorus]
F
I see a dreamer,
     Dm
over there by the water
      G
But I got no,
             Bbm
but I got no kakorrhaphiophobia
F                         Dm
I see a dreamer, and he’s ripe
for the slaughter
       G
But I got no,
             Bbm
but I got no kakorrhaphiophobia
Bbm
Phobia, phobia, phobia

[Verse 2]
Am                       Dm
I hear battalions sing of my demise,
                     Gm
but I don’t know the words
(What?)
                       Bb
I take a road of my own making,
                 Am
on a journey, no returning
             Dm                 Gm
Wah oh, wah oh, that’s how it goes
                              Bb
They’ve drawn the battlе line,
                          Am
and I see fire in their еyes

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Am
Na na na na na na,
I’m better off not listening
Am
Na na na na na na,
                 Gm
I’ve got my own song to sing
F                   Dm
Flying like a bee, black
and yellow energy
G                      Bbm
Only me on my team, naturally, whoa

[Chorus]
F
I see a dreamer,
     Dm
over there by the water
      G
But I got no,
             Bbm
but I got no kakorrhaphiophobia
F                         Dm
I see a dreamer, and he’s ripe
for the slaughter
       G
But I got no,
             Bbm
but I got no kakorrhaphiophobia
Bbm
Phobia, phobia, phobia

[Bridge]
A          Bb                  A
My boat is full, why don’t you swim?
         Bb                      A
Enjoy my fortress, I’ll be right in
          Bb                    A
I stare a hole through danger’s soul
             Bb
We all know, “I can do this,
eyes closed.”

[Pre-Chorus 3]
      Am         Dm
I refuse to fail
                       Gm     Bb
So heed this cautionary tale
           Am
You’ve got dragons,
my little friend
Dm                       G
You’ll conquer them in the end,
       Bb
if you can!
(Ha, ha, ha, ha, jump in!)

over there by the water

But I got no,
             Bbm
but I got no kakorrhaphiophobia
F                         Dm
I see a dreamer, and he’s ripe
for the slaughter

but I got no kakorrhaphiophobia
Bbm
Phobia, phobia, phobia
