The Hands That Thieve

      G             Gb                Em    



I felt no guilt â€˜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 â€œCourt 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......
