Guitar chords with lyrics
- Capo on 2nd
Tuning: Standard (E A D G B E)
Verse:
D A7
I felt no guilt till I was caught
Bm
And I was told that I was guilty,
G D A
And even then I wasn't really sure,
G D
The thing I felt was guilt itself
Bm
Or maybe it was something else,
G A
Frustration at the fact that I was ever caught at all.
D A
I told a lie, I multiplied it
Bm
By the time I realized it
G D A
I'd given up everything I ever loved
Bm
Cause the thing you lack
D
When you're looking back,
Bm
Is the pressure the fear that you have to act
G
Yeah everything is clearer when
A
You're looking at the past
G D A
And I don't care if I lose because my heroes did too,
Bm G
They shouted, "Court should be adjourned!" Because the jury are fools.
D A
And the judge can't decipher his left from his right Or his right from his wrong.
G D
And I will bite the hand that thieves,
A
I will not turn the other cheek, this is no threat
Bm G
It is a promise I will keep.
D
So what's the point pretending when we've seen behind
A
the curtain and there's nothing much to see, oh yeah.
D D/C Bm G A
D A
I felt no pain till I was down,
Bm
And I was told that I was bleeding.
G D A
And even then I knew I wasn't done, yeah yeah.
G
'Cause the wounds I get
D
They will just collect,
A Bm
Insuring that I won't forget.
G
Reminders of the battles
A
That I've lost and that I've won
D A
And I will fight 'til I have died
Bm
Or all my enemies are allies
G D A
And even then I will sleep with an open eye,
G D
'Cause the night is long and our foes are strong
A Bm
But I know the road we travel on
G
It only seems so dark
A
Because we've almost reached the dawn
G D A
And I don't care if I lose because my heroes did too,
Bm G
They shouted, "Court should be adjourned!" Because the jury are fools.
D A
And the judge can't decipher his left from his right Or his right from his wrong.
G D
And I will bite the hand that thieves,
A
I will not turn the other cheek, this is no threat
Bm G
It is a promise I will keep.
D
So what's the point pretending when we've seen behind
A
the curtain and there's nothing much to see, oh
D D/C Bm G A
G D
And everyone will claim
Bm A
That they knew from the beginning.
G D
That what they did was wrong,
Bm A
But they still just went on sinning.
G
The sudden rush you feel
D Bm
When realizing everything you know
A
Will fade away, it haunts you deep,
G
But you don't want to let it go.
D
Someday we'll lose the war,
Bm A
But 'til then we will dream of winning.
G D
I won't forget,
A
The things you said,
Bm G
When I was down and I was tired of it.
D
The words you spoke,
A*
They brought me home.
G D
When it was time to fight,
A
I chose a side,
Bm G
But I knew in my heart that something didn't feel right.
D
So I stood my ground,
A*
And waited for a sign. Last updated:
