My first song transcribed, so there may be problems.
- Gb's might be G/F#'s or something
- Not too sure about the B at the end of the verses
Tell me any corrections that need to be made!
Intro
D Dsus2
Verse 1
I felt no guGilt till I was caGbught
And I was tEmold that I was guilty,
And evCen then I wasn't really sGure, yeah yDeah.
CThe thing I felt was guiGlt itself
DOr maybe it was somethinEmg else,
CFrustration at the fact that I was ever cauDght at all.
GI told a lie, I multGbiplied it
By the tEmime I realized it
I'd givCen up everything I ever loGved, yeah yDeah.
CCause the thing you left
GWhen you're looking back,
DIs the pressure the feel that you have to aEmct
Yeah everyCthing is clearer when
You're looBking at the past, oh no.

Chorus
CAnd I don't care if I lGose because my heroes did too,
DThey shouted, "Court should beEm adjourned!" Because the jury are fools.
CAnd the judge can't decGipher his left from his riDght Or his right from his wrong.
CAnd we will bite the hand that thiGeves,
We will not turn the other chDeek, this is no threat
It is a proEmmise we will keep.
CSo what's the point pretGending when we sit behind
the curDtain and there's nothing much to see, oh yeah.

Verse 2: same chords as 1
I felt no paGin till I was fouGbnd,
And I was tEmold that I was bleeding.
And evCen then I knew I wasn't dGone, yeah yDeah.
CCause the wounds I get
GThey will just collect,
DInsuring that I won't fEmorget.
CReminders of the battles
DThat I've lost and that I've won
And I will fGight until I haveGb died
Or until alEml my enemies are allies
And evCen then I will sleep with an open eyeG, yeah yeDah.
CCause the night is long and our hoGoves are strong
DAnd I know the road we Emtravel on
It always sCeems so dark
Because we've almBost reached the dawn, Oh no.

EmAnd everyone will clCaim,
That they knGew from the begiDnning.
EmThat what they did was wCrong,
They stGill just went on sinDning.
EmThe sudden rush you feel
When reaClizing everything you kGnow
Will fade away, it haunts you dDeep,
But you won't want to let it go.
EmSomeday we'll lose the wCar,
But till tGhen we will dream of winDning.
CI won't forGget,
The things you sDaid,
Em Em (Might be A C later)
When I was down and I was tired of it.
The words you spGoke,
They brought me hDop

Rest of the song continues on this pattern basically.
DYou said don't look back!
(No, no, no, no...)
Don't look back!
C(We won't look bGack,
We won't look doDwn,
We've come too fEmar,
We're too high off the grCound.
The wheels have tuGrned,
The lessons leaDrned.)
You said don't look back!
Don't look back!
