The Enemy Within Chords

(ver. 1)
Rush
[Intro]
Bm D6add9 Em9 D/A (2x)
Bm G A Bm (4x)
 
[Verse 1]
Bm
Things crawl in the darkness
G     A    Bm          G A
That imagination spins
Bm
Needles at your nerve ends
G          A       Bm            G A
Crawl like spiders on your skin
            Bm
Pou-Pou-Pou-Pounding in your temples
G     A         Bm          G A
And a surge of adrenaline
      Bm              G          A    Bm      G A
Every muscle tense to fence the enemy within
 
[Chorus]
Bm D A
    Bm                              D
I'm not giving in to security under pressure
    A
I'm not missing out on the promise of adventure
    Bm                            D
I'm not giving up on implausible dreams
  A
Experience to extremes
                 Bm     G A  Bm G A  Bm G A  Bm G A
Experience to extremes
 
[Verse 2]
  Bm
Suspicious-looking stranger
G       A     Bm              G A
Flashes you a dangerous grin
Bm                      G
Shadows across your window
       A    Bm                  G A
Was it only trees in the wind?
      Bm              G
Every breath a static charge
  A           Bm                G A
A tongue that tastes like tin
       Bm              G        A  Bm         G A
Steely-eyed outside to hide the enemy within
 
[Chorus]
Bm D A
    Bm                              D
I'm not giving in to security under pressure
    A
I'm not missing out on the promise of adventure
    Bm                            D
I'm not giving up on implausible dreams
  A
Experience to extremes
                 Bm     G A  Bm G A  Bm G A  Bm G A
Experience to extremes
 
Bm G A  Bm G A  Bm G A  Bm G A
 
[Bridge]
   Bm                     D6add9
To you, is it movement or is it action?
Em9              D/A
Is it contact or just reaction?
    Bm                 D6add9
And you, revolution or just resistance?
Em9              D/A
Is it living, or just existence?
      Bm                     D6add9
Yeah, you, it takes a little more persistence
   Em9               D/A
To get up and go the distance
 
[Chorus]
        Bm         D
I'm not giving in
    A
I'm not missing out
    Bm                           D
I'm not giving up on implausible dreams
  A
Experience to extremes
 
    Bm                              D
I'm not giving in to security under pressure
    A
I'm not missing out on the promise of adventure
    Bm                            D
I'm not giving up on implausible dreams
  A
Experience to extremes
                 Bm     G A  Bm G A  Bm G A  Bm G A
Experience to extremes
 
Bm G A  Bm G   A     Bm
          Hey, yeah, yeah
 
[Outro]
Bm G A Bm
(repeat and fade out)
