Silence: Em--A-- x2

Distortion: Em--A-- x2


Verse 1:
Em              A      Em
  Oh we promise pretty things
       A                   Em
And we pledge with diamond rings
      A            Em  A
We profess undying love
Em              A             Em
  But does that word hold any weight
          A                  Em
When we reserve the right to break
    A                  Em   A
Any vow that draws our blood


Refrain:
    Bm   A
Our word is so faint 
    Em
and feeble
Bm     A
Broken by the slightest 
          Em
breeze or breath
    Bm     A        Em
Our hearts are so deceitful
Bm       A
Sick and filled with lies 
             D
that lead to death


Chorus 1:
       Em
We are cowards and thieves
Will we never turn to
                  D
grieve the damage done
Never see never quake with
                       C
rage at what we have become
               Am
What we have become


Post chorus: Em--A-- x4


Verse 2:
Em        A               Em
  Yeah we get down on one knee
     A             Em
O we play at chivalry
       A                Em  A
But we do not count the cost
      Em    A            Em
We say  "On me you can depend
       A                  Em
I will be there 'till the end"
          A                 Em   A
Though we will not bear the cross


(Repeat Refrain)
(Repeat Chorus 1)


Chorus 2:
Em
cowards and thieves
Will we never turn to
                  D
grieve the damage done
Never see never quake with
                       C
rage at what we have become
               Am
What we have become


Chorus 3: Bass Only
       Em
We are cowards and thieves
Will we never turn to
                  D
grieve the damage done
Never see never quake with
                       C
rage at what we have become
               Am
What we have become


Outro: Em--D--C--Am-- x2
