These Words chords by New Model Army

C                 Dm                  Am
Through the years of decay we walk like tigers in cages
      F                    G                       Am
With each passing turn the smaller and smaller the circles
      C                 Dm              Am
Every weapon and word legitimate now as protection


      C                  Dm      Am
But these things should never be spoken
F                   G        Am
These things should never be spoken


   C                Dm                     Am
I stand undefeated alone in the ring just pacing
     F                   G                     Am
The sweat and the blood dried on my hands all wasted
               C                      Dm
I'm shouting "come back and fight for I am the king"
         F                          G
But the lights are all out and the people are gone
      Am                           C
We've always burned brightest when no one was watching
    G                        Am
Now I kiss the lines on your beautiful face

    C                   Dm       Am
But these things should never be spoken
F                   G        Am
These things should never be spoken


     C                        Dm                   Am
And sometimes your hunger for life seems like desperation
           F                               G                 Am
And when I read about the world these days all I can feel is hatred
    C                    Dm
The fortune teller she's closing her doors
     F                              G
She looked into the crystal and saw nothing at all
         Am                     C
They're waiting around here for something to happen
     G                            Am
They won't really want it when it rolls out to greet them


     C                   Dm      Am
But these things should never be spoken
 F                  G        Am
These things should never be spoken
