F F
I felt no guilt till I was caught
Dm
And I was told that I was guilty,
F F F
And even then I wasn't really sure, yeah yeah.
F F
The thing I felt was guilt itself
F Dm
Or maybe it was something else,
F F
Frustration at the fact that I was ever caught at all.
F F
I told a lie, I multiplied it
Dm
By the time I realized it
F F F
I'd given up everything I ever loved, yeah yeah.
F
Cause the thing you left
F
When you're looking back,
F Dm
Is the pressure the feel that you have to act
F
Yeah everything is clearer when
F
You're looking at the past, oh no.
Dm Dm F F
Dm Dm F F
F F F
And I don't care if I lose because my heroes did too,
Dm F
They shouted, "Court should be adjourned!" Because the jury are fools.
F F
And the judge can't decipher his left from his right Or his right from his wrong.
F F
And we will bite the hand that thieves,
F
We will not turn the other cheek, this is no threat
Dm F
It is a promise we will keep.
F
So what's the point pretending when we've seen behind
F
the curtain and there's nothing much to see, oh yeah.
F F F F
F F F F
F F
I felt no pain till I was down,
Dm
And I was told that I was bleeding.
F F F
And even then I knew I wasn't done, yeah yeah.
F
'Cause the wounds I get
F
They will just collect,
F Dm
Insuring that I won't forget.
F
Reminders of the battles
F
That I've lost and that I've won
F F
And I will fight 'til I have died
Dm
Or all my enemies are allies
F F F
And even then I will sleep with an open eye, yeah yeah.
F F
'Cause the night is long and our foes are strong
F Dm
But I know the road we travel on
F
It only seems so dark
F
Because we've almost reached the dawn, oh no.
Dm Dm F F
Dm Dm F F

the curtain and there's nothing much to see, oh yeah.
F F F F
F F F F
Dm F
And everyone will claim
F F
That they knew from the beginning.
Dm F
That what they did was wrong,
F F
They still just went on sinning.
Dm
The sudden rush you feel
F F
When realizing everything you know
F
Will fade away, it haunts you deep,
Dm
But you won't want to let it go.
F
Someday we'll lose the war,
F F
But 'til then we will dream of winning.
F F
I won't forget,
F
The things you said,
Dm F
When I was down and I was tired of it.
F
The words you spoke,
F*
They brought me home.
F F
When it was time to fight,
F
We chose a side,
Dm F
But everyone knew that something didn't feel right.
F
So we stood our ground,
F*
And waited for a sign.

You said don't look baaaaaaaack!

(We won't look back,
F
We won't look down,
Dm
We've come too far,
F
We're too high off the ground.
F
The wheels have turned,
F
The lessons learned.)
