[Intro]
D Dsus2
[Verse 1]
G D I felt no guilt till I was caught Em And I was told that I was guilty, C G D And even then I wasn't really sure, yeah yeah. C G The thing I felt was guilt itself D Em Or maybe it was something else, C D Frustration at the fact that I was ever caught at all. G D I told a lie, I multiplied it Em By the time I realized it C G D I'd given up everything I ever loved, yeah yeah. C 'Cause the thing you lack G When you're looking back D Em Is the pressure, the fear that you have to act C Yeah, everything is clearer when D You're looking at the past, oh no.
Em Am C D
Em Am C D
[Chorus]
C G D And I don't care if I lose because my heroes did too, Em C They shouted, "Court should be adjourned!" because the jury are fools. G D And the judge can't decipher his left from his right or his right from his wrong. C G And we will bite the hand that thieves, D We will not turn the other cheek, this is no threat Em C It is a promise we will keep. G So what's the point pretending when we've seen behind D the curtain and there's nothing much to see, oh yeah.

[Verse 2]
G D I felt no pain till I was down, Em And I was told that I was bleeding. C G D And even then I knew I wasn't done, yeah yeah. C 'Cause the wounds I get G They will just collect, D Em Insuring that I won't forget. C Reminders of the battles D That I've lost and that I've won G D And I will fight till I have died Em Or all my enemies are allies C G D And even then I will sleep with an open eye, yeah yeah. C G 'Cause the night is long and our foes are strong D Em But I know that the road we travel on C It only seems so dark D Because we've almost reached the dawn, oh no.
Em Am C D
Em Am C D
[Chorus]
C G D And I don't care if I lose because my heroes did too, Em C They shouted, "Court should be adjourned!" because the jury are fools. G D And the judge can't decipher his left from his right or his right from his wrong. C G And we will bite the hand that thieves, D We will not turn the other cheek, this is no threat Em C It is a promise we will keep. G So what's the point pretending when we've seen behind D the curtain and there's nothing much to see, oh yeah.

[Bridge]
Em C And everyone will claim G D That they knew from the beginning. Em C That what they did was wrong, G D They still just went on sinning. Em The sudden rush you feel C G When realizing everything you know D Will fade away, it haunts you deep, Em But you won't want to let it go. C Someday we'll lose the war, G D But till then we will dream of winning. C G I won't forget, D The things you said, Em C When I was down and I was tired of it. G The words you spoke, D* They brought me home. C G When it was time to fight, D We chose a side, Em C But everyone knew that something didn't feel right. G So we stood our ground, D* And waited for a sign. * e|-2h3-2-0-----| B|---------3-1-| G|-------------| D|-------------| A|-------------| E|-------------| C G When it was time to fight, D We chose a side, Em C But everyone knew that something didn't feel right. G So we stood our ground, D And waited for a sign. D C G D Em You said don't look baaaaaaaaaack! C G D Em Don't look baaaaaaaaaack! C G (We won't look back, D We won't look down, Em We've come too far, C We're too high off the ground. G The wheels have turned, D The lessons learned.)
