[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.  

[G] [D] [C] [D]  
[G] [D] [C] [D]  

[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.  

[G] [D] [C] [D]  
[G] [D] [C] [D]  

[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.

[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.)
