verse:

 E             F#m                C#m                    A(bar) 
 Consider the odds, consider the obvious, the martyr is meaningless,


                  E                    F#m                    C#m
 the campaign has died. In the planning stages and the fallen faces,


                  A(bar)                 E 
 are the singular proof that it was ever alive.


                F#m                C#m                     A(bar)    
 This purchased rebellion has been outdated, denounced and rescinded

             E    F#m           C#m           A
 and left to die, championless, championless, championless

 Chorus1:

  E            B          A(bar mute G) A(bar mute G)
  I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.


  E                B              A(bar mute G)         A(bar mute G) 
  Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.


  E            B          A(bar mute G) A(bar mute G) E
  I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.


  E              B             A(bar mute G)         A(bar mute G) 
  Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.

  Verse2:

  E                 F#m             C#m            A
  Hope has sprung a perfect dive, a perfect day, a perfect lie


  E               F#m       C#m            A
  A slowly crafted monologue conceding your defeat.


  E               F#m                C#m                     A
  This purchased rebellion has been outdated, denounced and rescinded

              E    F#m           C#m           A
  and left to die, championless, championless, championless

  Chorus2:

  E            B          A(bar mute G) A(bar mute G)
  I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.


  E              B             A(bar mute G)         A(bar mute G) 
  Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.


  E            B          A(bar mute G) A(bar mute G) E
  I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.


  E              B             A(bar mute G)         A(bar mute G) 
  Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.

 E                      F#m                      C#m            A      
 Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight?


 E                      F#m                      C#m            A
 Basking in your victory, hollow and alone


 E                      F#m                      C#m            A
 to boast your bitter bragging rights to anyone who'll listen


 E                      F#m                      C#m            A
 While you're left with nothing tangible to gain
