G+G        D MajorD
I felt no guilt till I was caught
     E minorEm
And I was told that I was guilty,
  C majorC             G+G     D MajorD
And even then I wasn't really sure, yeah yeah.
  C majorC        G+G
The thing I felt was guilt itself
  D MajorD           E minorEm
Or maybe it was something else,
  C majorC                D MajorD
Frustration at the fact that I was ever caught at all.
     G+G      D MajorD
I told a lie, I multiplied it
    E minorEm
By the time I realized it
  C majorC             G+G      D MajorD
I'd given up everything I ever loved, yeah yeah.
     C majorC
Cause the thing you left
      G+G
When you're looking back,
    D MajorD             E minorEm
Is the pressure the feel that you have to act
   C majorC
Yeah everything is clearer when
    D MajorD
You're looking at the past, oh no.

E minorEm A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
E minorEm A minorAm C majorC D MajorD

C majorC           G+G             D MajorD
And I don't care if I lose because my heroes did too,
                 E minorEm               C majorC
They shouted, "Court should be adjourned!" Because the jury are fools.
           G+G            D MajorD
And the judge can't decipher his left from his right Or his right from his wrong.
C majorC               G+G
And I will bite the hand that thieves,
              D MajorD
I will not turn the other cheek, this is no threat
    E minorEm       C majorC
It is a promise I will keep.
            G+G
So what's the point pretending when we've seen behind
  D MajorD
the curtain and there's nothing much to see, oh yeah.

G+G D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
G+G D MajorD C majorC D MajorD

G+G        D MajorD
I felt no pain till I was down,
     E minorEm
And I was told that I was bleeding.
  C majorC             G+G     D MajorD
And even then I knew I wasn't done, yeah yeah.
      C majorC
'Cause the scars I get
     G+G
They will just collect,
 D MajorD       E minorEm
Insuring that I won't forget.
 C majorC
Reminders of the battles
     D MajorD
That I've lost and that I've won
      G+G         D MajorD
And I will fight 'til I have died
           E minorEm
Or all my enemies are allies
  C majorC                  G+G     D MajorD
And even then I will sleep with an open eye, yeah yeah.
      C majorC           G+G
'Cause the night is long and our foes are strong
   D MajorD        E minorEm
But I know the road we travel on
  C majorC
It only seems so dark
       D MajorD
Because we've almost reached the top, oh no.

E minorEm A minorAm C majorC D MajorD
E minorEm A minorAm C majorC D MajorD

C majorC           G+G             D MajorD
And I don't care if I lose because my heroes did too,
                 E minorEm               C majorC
They shouted, "Court should be adjourned!" Because the jury are fools.
           G+G            D MajorD
And the judge can't decipher his left from his right Or his right from his wrong.
C majorC               G+G
And I will bite the hand that thieves,
              D MajorD
I will not turn the other cheek, this is no threat
    E minorEm       C majorC
It is a promise I will keep.
            G+G
So what's the point pretending when we've seen behind
  D MajorD
the curtain and there's nothing much to see, oh yeah.

G+G D MajorD C majorC D MajorD
G+G D MajorD C majorC D MajorD

E minorEm        C majorC
And everyone will claim
     G+G        D MajorD
That they knew from the beginning.
E minorEm       C majorC
Exactly how it ends,
   G+G         D MajorD
But they still just went on sinning.
E minorEm
The sudden rush you feel
   C majorC            G+G
When realizing everything you know
               D MajorD
Will fade away, it haunts you deep,
               E minorEm
But you won't want to let it go.
            C majorC
Someday we'll lose the war,
     G+G           D MajorD
But 'til then we will dream of winning.

C majorC     G+G
I won't forget,
        D MajorD
The things you said,
      E minorEm           C majorC
When I was down and I was tired of it.
       G+G
The words you spoke,
        D*
They brought me home.
C majorC          G+G
When it was time to fight,
      D MajorD
I chose a side,
       E minorEm               C majorC
But I knew in my heart that something didn't feel right.
        G+G
So I stood my ground,
         D*
And waited for a sign.
