E minorEm C majorC C# minorC#m C majorC (x3)


🤘 Verse 1:
E minorEm     C majorC      C# minorC#m          C majorC
I can't be compromising in my thoughts no more
E minorEm     C majorC         C# minorC#m      C majorC
I can't prevent the times my anger fills my heart
E minorEm     C majorC      C# minorC#m       C majorC
I can't be sympathising with a new lost cause
E minorEm     C majorC        C# minorC#m         C majorC
I feel I've lost my patience with the world and all

E minorEm
And all the politicians and their hollow promises
               C majorC           B minorBm
And all the lies, deceit and shame that goes with it
E minorEm
The working man pays everything for their mistakes
                C majorC       B minorBm D MajorD
And with his life too if there was to be a war

  D MajorD   A augmentedA      G+G       D/F#D/F#
The age of innocence is fading like an old dream


🤘 Verse 2:
E minorEm
A augmentedA life of petty crime gets punished with a holiday
                  C majorC         B minorBm
The victims' minds are scarred for life most everyday
E minorEm
Assailants know just how much further they can go
                C majorC        B minorBm D MajorD
They know the laws are soft, conviction chances low

F# minorF#m
You can't protect yourselves, even in your own home
F# minorF#m
For fear of vigilante cries the victims wipe their eyes
E minorEm
So now the criminals, they laugh right in our face
F# minorF#m
Judicial system lets them do it, a disgrace


🤘 Verse 3:
A augmentedA     G+G       D/F#D/F#         D MajorD G+G
Despondent public worries where it all will end
A augmentedA      G+G          D/F#D/F#        G+G  D/F#D/F# G+G
We can't protect ourselves, our kids from the crime trend
E minorEm
We cannot warn each other of evil in our midst
                  C majorC          B minorBm D MajorD
