F#mGBC#mGC#mGC#mGC#mG

C#mFirst time that they Gcame for me

I was a C#myoung boy and little did I Gnot believe

I had a C#mhole in my heart

And I was Glooking for a piece that C#mfit G

C#mThe next time I was Gprivy to

Their C#mdirty secrets of their Glittle hidden clues

And when I C#madded it up, I had a Glittle, but a little won't do

F#mCan anybody out there Gtell me something true

C#mF#mGC#mF#mG

F#mPreferably something that Gno one can dispute

C#mF#mGC#mF#mG

F#mWhen everybody's spilling Glifelong secrets

BI'm betting safely on the Gman it will demiss

GDespite his weakness

GHe'll take his secrets to the grave.

E(So get your Bfill while I go)

C#mDon't you ever think they'll Atake you alive

I have a C#msecret

And that Gsecret is there was a C#mlie I told myself Guntil it became the C#mtruth

C#mRest assured I have a Gplan B on my C#mmind

If all the webs I Gweaved would ever come and C#munwind

But I got Gplenty of C#mtime

F#mCan anybody out there Gtell me something true

C#mF#mGC#mF#mG

F#mBefore I believe something that Gno one can dispute

The Hands That Thieve

Key: GHard

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.

DThey shouted, "Court should be adjoEmurned!" 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.

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.

We Are The Few (acoustic)

Key: FHard

FDeaGr

Mr. GepeCtto:G I Amhope this finds you Fwell

I Gwrote this lCetter G

'cause we mE5iss you here in Fhell

And now I kCnow it's hard when you Gdon't know what to think

And eAmvery single smile is a tFhorn when you'Gre waking up

C You might try but you wGon't get by until you're cAmrucified for all the

Fthings you tGry to do

Well CI don't care if you Gsink or swim

And AmI don't care how you hEmold it in

As lFong as you don't bCother me with aFll the things I don't bGother you with

And C9 times out of 1G0 you might be right

Am But what about that tEmime you know you're wrong?

F Keep singing that Csame song

And Feverybody smiles but they'll nGever get along

I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying to let go:

But everybody's going down tonight

C5 We are the few that G5won't say nothing right

A5 We are the footsteps fF5ading G5into the night

C5G5A5F5

NobodG5y cares and nobody stares with such conviction and I say:

C5I never wanted this, G5no one ever wanted this

A5But they gave it to me so I F5might as well be G5proud of it

AndC5 I don't know whereG5 we went wrong

A5All i know now is i F5got to do someG5thing right

CGAmFG

CGAm

FSo come Gclean

CNo one should have have to Glive with the things you've Amseen

But Fyou're living Ganyway

Well I Cstop the car and Gput her in park

AndAm I step outside (godEm I hate this part)

When I Fsee what I saw what I Cthought was a lie; it was Fmore

Than a chore I'm just doGing what I need to get-

CI don't care if you Gleave or stay

But weAm might as well split

Because it's Emnot the same as it Fwas

When we said our Clast goodbye

And iFf you want the truth: I was Ghoping one of us would

C Pass away because it'd Gbe much easier tAmhen

We could all get toEmgether and think about wFhen

We were young we were dCumb we were numb but in lFove

And I'm done so I'm seGnding out this letter today

I'm trying and I'm trying and I'm trying to let go:

But everybody's going down tonight

CGAmFG

CThis has been the Gbest night of my Amlife F G

I coCuld've lost my lGife

And I wouAmld've lost my miFnd

But nGow I'm finCe and I fGind

That thAmis has been the beFst night of Gmy

CThis has been the Gbest night of my

I stAmill can't believe they had the heFart to apoGlogize

I coCuld've lost my Glife

And I woAmuld've lost my miFnd

But nGow I'm finCe and I fGind

CAnd as the Gday fades Amno one invFestigaGtes

CNobody answGers when she Amcalls his FnameG

CAnother vicGtim, soAmmewhere in a sFhallow Ggrave

The Gblonde lead the Bblind, but Cnow I begin to Dsee

All the Gthings you Bmmissed when you Cwere Ddismissed, because Glearning always Cends at Gthree.

And Gtime after Btime, you Cpass along liaDbility.

And all the Gthings you Bmsay, they only Cgive you aDway,

Cause you're Gon the same Clevel that you Gwere that day, say!

GBmCDGCG

GOh! Friend! You Blook too deepC at the cover of the Dmagazine

But the Gwords inBmside they come aCcross deDprived, and they Gforce feed Cshit, but you Gstill subscribe.

And you Gwatch, but you don't Bsee, you Ctouch, but you don't Dfeel.

And you'll Grue the Bmday they try to Ctake it aDway,

But they Gknow you'll never Cfight it if they Gkeep it the same.

CDCD

Did you lose Cfaith? Yes, I lost faith in the Gpowers at be, but in Ddoing so I came across the Gwill to disagree.

And I gave Cup, yes I gave up and Gthen I gave in, but I Dtake responsibility for Gevery single sin.

Soon Geveryone will sBee, and Ceveryone will knDow

That the Gthings we BmHid were irCreleDvant and it's Gall just Cpart of the Gshow.

And the Gblemishes and Bscars that Cmade us who we Dare:

We're told to Gcover Bmup, but we've Ctaken eDnough, and we're Gnot going to Cstop until it's Gtaken apart.

GBmCDGCG

Come Gone, come all to obBserve the fall:C Free tickets to the Dfree for all!

And it Gnever Bmends, it goes aCround aDgain, and we're Gall bit Cplayers in the Gscheme of things.

And I Ghope someday you'll Bfind all the Canswers to the Dquestions on your Gmind.

In Bmtime you will Ccross the Dline and you'll Grealize that Ceverything you Gthought was right...

CDCD

Did you lose Cfaith? Yes, I lost faith in the Gpowers at be, but in Ddoing so I came across the Gwill to disagree.

Watch It Crash

Key: EmMedium

EmLast night I Cwoke alone with a Dwhisper in my Gear (whisper in my ear)

EmRecanting Call my aspiDrations and my Gfears

EmAnd when the Csun came up that Dvoice had disapGpeared

EmBut it would Clinger on for Byears

It said "We Ccan't just Bblame it on our Emmothers

Claim everyCthing they Bdid was always Emwrong"

And there Cain't not turning Bback when our Emtrain is off its Ctrack

And there's Cnothing we can Bdo but watch it Emcrash (watch it crash)

And there Cain't no right or Bwrong when we Emknow it won't be Clong

And there's Cnothing we can Bdo but watch it Emcrash

EmCDG

EmCB

So Emmercy, Cmercy, Dmercy Gme

EmPraying for the Cdeath of a Dman I'll never Gmeet

Though Emeveryone will Cknow the truth they'll Dstill just make Gbelieve

EmMercy Cmercy Bme

"We Ccan't just Bblame it on our Emmothers

Claim everyCthing they Bdid was always Emwrong"

And there Cain't not turning Bback when our Emtrain is off its Ctrack

And there's Cnothing we can Bdo but watch it Emcrash (watch it crash)

And there Cain't no right or Bwrong when we Emknow it won't be Clong

And there's Cnothing we can Bdo but watch it Dcrash

So Emmercy, Cmercy, Dmercy Gme

EmPraying for the Cdeath of a Dman I'll never Gmeet

Though Emeveryone will Cknow the truth they'll Dstill just make Gbelieve

EmMercy Cmercy Dme

EmThat's all they Ccame forD, that's all they Gtook

EmThat's all we Chad to offer, Donly dirty Glooks

EmAnd when they Crealized we'd Dgiven all we Gcould,

Emthat's when they Cfinally underBstood

EmMercy Cmercy Dmercy Gme

EmHaunted by the Cmemories of Dthings we'll never Gsee

EmGuilty for the Cstatements that we'll Dnever get to Gspeak

EmMercy Cmercy Dme

CWe can't quite Bblame it on our Emmothers

Claim everyCthing they Bdid was always Emwrong"

And there Cain't not turning Bback when our Emtrain is off its Ctrack

And there's Cnothing we can Bdo but watch it Emcrash

And there Cain't no right or Bwrong when we Emknow it won't be Clong

Watch it Ccrash and there's Dnothing we can Bdo, but watch it Emcrash...

The Troubadour

Key: AmCapo 1Easy

Am This is a morbid story about a fella that had to Edie,

Am He had a beautiful wife but he aElso had a roving Ameye.

AShe planted him by the Eroadside,

EShe planted him by the Aroadside,

AShe planted him by the Droadside,

for all the unAfaithful Ehusbands to Asee.

ACome let me tell you the Estory,

Eof little Willie the TroubadAor

AAnd just how it happened to Dpass my friends,

little WAillie won't Esee no Amore.

You know why?

AShe planted him by the Eroadside,

EShe planted him by the Aroadside,

AShe planted him by the Droadside,

for all the unAfaithful Ehusbands to Asee.

AWillie was handsome as Ehe could be,

Ehe met a girl in soAciety

AThin Willie was cursed with a Drovin' eye,

and never Alet a pretty Echick pass Aby.

ASo he bought himself a convEertible bird,

Eto ride the fine chicks aAround

AHe found out he was being Dfollowed,

so he could Anever let the Etop down. A

You know what happened to him?

AShe planted him by the Eroadside,

EShe planted him by the Aroadside,

AShe planted him by the Droadside,

for all the unAfaithful Ehusbands to Asee.

DAAEA

AEA

AIf he drove a girl to a dErive-in,

Ehe'd have to go after Adark

AHe knew he'd always have to Dhide,

so he'd wAind up sitting Ein the Apark.

AShe caught him down by the Ewater,

Elovin' the fisherman's Adaughter

Ashe pulled a little pistol from right out Dof the air,

and shot poor AWillie right Ethen and tAhere.

AShe planted him by the Eroadside,

EShe planted him by the Aroadside,

AShe planted him by the Droadside,

for all the unAfaithful Ehusbands to Asee.
