The Hands That Thieve

      G             Gb                Em

I felt no guilt ‘till I was caught, and I was told that I was guilty

     C                      G           D

And even then I wasn’t really sure, yeah yeah

         C             G              D          Em

That the thing I felt was guilt itself, or maybe it was something else

  C                             D

Frustration at the fact that I was ever caught at all

       G           Gb          Em

I told a lie, that multiplied, by the time I realized it

    C                       G           D

I’d given up everything I’d ever loved, yeah yeah

       C                        G

‘Cuz the thing you lack, when you’re looking back

    D                        Em

is the pressure you feel that you have to act

     C                            D

That everything is clearer when you’re looking at the past, oh no.

                    INTERLUDE

C

And I don’t care if I lose,

G

because my heroes did too.

 D

I shouted “Court should be adjourned,

 Em                      (C)

because the jury are fools.

                   G                     D                                (C)

And the judge can’t decipher his left from his right, or his right from his wrong.

C                       G                               D

And I will bite the hand that thieves, I will not turn the other cheek

                     Em                 (C)

This is no threat, it is a promise I will keep.

C                      G                                   D

So what’s the point in pretending, when we’ve seen behind the curtain

     D

And there’s nothin’ much to see, oh yeah

(NEXT VERSE/CHORUS IS SAME PATTERN CBA)

        ....


C

I won't forget,

G

the things you said,

           D

when I was down,

                Em

and I was tired of it.

              G

The words you spoke,

                   D

They brought me hope...

         C

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
