Scared — Tragically Hip

Intro: D Cm G D }x2

Verse 1:

I could make you scared if you want me to

I'm not prepared, but if I have to

I said I can make you scared It's kinda what I do

If you are prepared Here is what I propose to do

You're in Russia And more than a million works of art

Are whisked out to the woods

When the Nazis find the whole place dark

They think God's Left the museum for good

Verse 2:

I make you scared, that's what I do

If you're prepared, if I have to

If I make you scared and you'll pay me to

If that's the deal Now here's what I can do for you

Bridge:

Now there's a focus group that can prove

That is all nothing but cold calculation

Verse 3:

Tests have shown that suspicious or hostile

Their lives need not be shortened

Truth be told They can live a long, long while

Tickled to death by their importance

If you make me scared If that's what you do

If I'm unclear can I get out of this thing

With me and you

If you feel scared or a bit confused

I gotta say This sounds a little beyond anything I am used to

Bridge:

Now there a precious few That can prove

that at the root

That is all nothing but cold calculation

Verse 4:

Clearly entranced you're leaning back now

Defanged destroyer limps into the bay

Down at the beach it's attracting quite a crowd

As kids wade through blood out to it and play

Ok you make me scared you did what you set out to do

I'm not prepared, you really had me going there

for a minute or two

He said, you make me scared too,

I wasn't sure I was getting through

I gotta go, it's been a pleasure doing business with you.
