The Hands That Thieve Chords

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
 
 
          (Em, C, G, D) x 2
 
 
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
 
And waited for a sign......
