Chords

[Intro] G / D G / C / D (2x) G C / G D / G C / D D (2x) [Verse]
Am        Em         G          C
Whispered secrets in cloistered halls

Am        Em         G
Oaths of silence observed

Am        Em      G             C
Silent witnesses stare from the walls

F              G
Never saying a word

Am        Em         G          C
Years of suffering, torment and pain

Am        Em         G
Etched on faces of stone

Am      Em        G         C
Age of innocence, paradise lost

F             G
Never to be regained

F                 D
Only heartbreak remains
[Chorus]
G      D           G            C
Oh my, look at the lies as they fall from your mouth

       D
I'm surprised they don't stain you

G          D        G
And how do you justify them?

    C                             D         G
The blood on your hands marks you guilty as sin
[Interlude] G C / G D / G C / D D (2x) [Verse]
Am      Em            G            C
And the circumstances excludes all doubt

Am         Em         G
Send their children along

Am       Em         G           C
Safe, secure in the arms of the one

F                   G
Who will do them no harm

F                   D
Who will do them no wrong
[Chorus]
G      D           G            C
Oh my, look at the lies as they fall from your mouth

       D
I'm surprised they don't stain you

G          D        G
And how do you justify them?

    C                             D         G
The blood on your hands marks you guilty as sin
[Bridge]
Em       D            G          C
And the truth remains hidden for years

Em        D             G
Shame and fear do their job

Em       D              G        C
Lives in ruins but your standing remains

Em                   D
Until someone stands up
[Instrumental] G / D G / C / D (2x) G C / G D / G C / D D (1x) [Verse]
Am        Em         G          C
Now the victims have lifted the lid

Am            Em          G
And what was darkness is light

Am            Em           G              C
Suffer little children and by Christ they did

F               G
So long out of sight

F                  D
Going out of their mind.
[Chorus]
G      D           G            C
Oh my, look at the lies as they fall from your mouth

       D
I'm surprised they don't stain you

G          D        G
And how do you justify them?

    C                             D         G
The blood on your hands marks you guilty as sin

G      D           G            C
Oh my, look at the lies as they fall from your mouth

       D
I'm surprised they don't stain you

G          D        G
And how do you justify them?

    C                             D         G
The blood on your hands marks you guilty as sin
