If you're ever less than certain about the world

Please don't let the worry make its way into your work
    G                  D                Em
And if you would stick up for me in the face of some adversity

So look me in the eyes under expanding winter skies
               C                 Em               D
You'll find a feeling there that never knows the cold
G              D            Em            Em
Look me in the eyes and the skeptic in me dies
