----------------------------------------------------
F G
I felt no guilt till I was caught
Dm
And I was told that I was guilty,
F F G
And even then I wasn't really sure, yeah yeah.
F F
The thing I felt was guilt itself
G Dm
Or maybe it was something else,
F G
Frustration at the fact that I was ever caught at all.
F G
I told a lie, I multiplied it
Dm
By the time I realized it
F F G
I'd given up everything I ever loved, yeah yeah.
F
Cause the thing you left
F
When you're looking back,
G Dm
Is the pressure the feel that you have to act
F
Yeah everything is clearer when
G
You're looking at the past, oh no.
Dm Dm F G
Dm Dm F G
F F G
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 G
And the judge can't decipher his left from his right Or his right from his wrong.
F F
And I will bite the hand that thieves,
G
I will not turn the other cheek, this is no threat
Dm F
It is a promise I will keep.
F
So what's the point pretending when we've seen behind
G
the curtain and there's nothing much to see, oh yeah.
F G F G
F G F G
F G
I felt no pain till I was down,
Dm
And I was told that I was bleeding.
F F G
And even then I knew I wasn't done, yeah yeah.
F
'Cause the scars I get
F
They will just collect,
G Dm
Insuring that I won't forget.
F
Reminders of the battles
G
That I've lost and that I've won
F G
And I will fight 'til I have died
Dm
Or all my enemies are allies
F F G
And even then I will sleep with an open eye, yeah yeah.
F F
'Cause the night is long and our foes are strong
G Dm
But I know the road we travel on
F
It only seems so dark
G
Because we've almost reached the top, oh no.
Dm Dm F G
Dm Dm F G
F F G
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 G
And the judge can't decipher his left from his right Or his right from his wrong.
F F
And I will bite the hand that thieves,
G
I will not turn the other cheek, this is no threat
Dm F
It is a promise I will keep.
F
So what's the point pretending when we've seen behind
G
the curtain and there's nothing much to see, oh yeah.
F G F G
F G F G
Dm F
And everyone will claim
F G
That they knew from the beginning.
Dm F
Exactly how it ends,
F G
But they still just went on sinning.
Dm
The sudden rush you feel
F F
When realizing everything you know
G
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 G
But 'til then we will dream of winning.
F F
I won't forget,
G
The things you said,
Dm F
When I was down and I was tired of it.
F
The words you spoke,
G*
They brought me home.
F F
When it was time to fight,
G
I chose a side,
Dm F
But I knew in my heart that something didn't feel right.
F
So I stood my ground,
G*
And waited for a sign.
