Cifras
The Hands That Thieve

Tom: G

Introdução:

                     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 left
                         G 
When you're looking back,
               D                                                   Em 
Is the pressure the feel that you have to act
           C 
Yeah everything is clearer when
               D 
You're looking at the past, oh no.

 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 I will bite the hand that thieves,
                                                       D 
I will not turn the other cheek, this is no threat
                 Em                           C 
It is a promise I 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 
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 scars 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 'til 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 the road we travel on
       C 
It only seems so dark
                             D 
Because we've almost reached the top, oh no.

 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 I will bite the hand that thieves,
                                                       D 
I will not turn the other cheek, this is no threat
                 Em                           C 
It is a promise I 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.

 Em                               C 
And everyone will claim
                     G                             D 
That they knew from the beginning.
 Em                           C 
Exactly how it ends,
           G                                   D 
But 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 'til 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 *
 C                                     G 
When it was time to fight,
                       D 
I chose a side,
                           Em                                                           C 
But I knew in my heart that something didn't feel right.
                                 G 
So I stood my ground,
                                  D *
 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 I will bite the hand that thieves,
                                                       D 
I will not turn the other cheek, this is no threat
                 Em                           C 
It is a promise I will keep.
                                               G 
So what's the point pretending when we've seen behind
         B7                                                                     A7 
the curtain and there's nothing much to see.
