New Model Army – These Words (Guitar)

            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
