                                G                                         Gb  
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.

I'd given up everything I ever loved, yeah yeah.

Cause the thing you left
G  
When you're looking back,
D                                                                                                              Em  
Is the pressure the feel that you have to act

You're looking at the past, oh no.

They shouted, "Court should be adjourned!" Because the jury are fools.
C                                                         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  
It is a promise we will keep.
C                                                            G

                C                                                              G                         D  
And even then I knew I wasn't done, yeah yeah.
C  
Cause the wounds I get

The sudden rush you feel

When realizing everything you know
