Intro
D Dsus2
Verse 1
G Gb
I felt no guilt till I was caught
Em
And I was told that I was guilty,
C G D
And even then I wasn't really sure, yeah yeah.
C G
The thing I felt was guilt itself
D Em
Or maybe it was something else,
C D
Frustration at the fact that I was ever caught at all.
G Gb
I told a lie, I multiplied it
Em
By the time I realized it
C G D
I'd given up everything I ever loved, yeah yeah.
C

Cause the thing you left
G
When you're looking back,
D Em
Is the pressure the feel that you have to act
C
Yeah everything is clearer when
B
You're looking at the past, oh no.

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

Verse 2: same chords as 1
G Gb
I felt no pain till I was found,
Em
And I was told that I was bleeding.
C G D
And even then I knew I wasn't done, yeah yeah.
C
Cause the wounds I get
G
They will just collect,
D Em
Insuring that I won't forget.
C
Reminders of the battles
D
That I've lost and that I've won
G Gb
And I will fight until I have died
Em
Or until all my enemies are allies
C G D
And even then I will sleep with an open eye, yeah yeah.
C G
Cause the night is long and our hooves are strong
D Em
And I know the road we travel on
C
It always seems so dark
B
Because we've almost reached the dawn, Oh no.

Em C
And everyone will claim,
G D
That they knew from the beginning.
Em C
That what they did was wrong,
G D
They still just went on sinning.
Em
The sudden rush you feel
C G
When realizing everything you know
D
Will fade away, it haunts you deep,
But you won't want to let it go.
Em C
Someday we'll lose the war,
G D
But till then we will dream of winning.
C G
I won't forget,
D
The things you said,
Em Em (Might be A C later)
When I was down and I was tired of it.
G
The words you spoke,
D *
They brought me hope.
C G
When it was time to fight,
D
We chose a side,
Em Em
But everyone knew that something didn't feel right.
G
So we stood our ground,
D *
And waited for a sign.

Rest of the song continues on this pattern basically.
D
You said don't look back!
(No, no, no, no...)
Don't look back!
C G
(We won't look back,
D
We won't look down,
Em
We've come too far,
C
We're too high off the ground.
G
The wheels have turned,
D
The lessons learned.)
