Intro/verses 
   Am   D (hammor on pull off on high e third fret)

O, we promise pretty things
 And we pledge with diamond rings 
We profess undying love 
But does that word hold any weight 
When we reserve the right to break 
Any vow that draws our blood 

Pre Chorus

Em D Am

Our word is so faint and feeble 
Broken by the slightest breeze or breath 
Our hearts are they're so deceitful 
Sick and filled with lies 
That lead to death 


Chorus
Am G (0) C Am

We are cowards and thieves 
Will we never turn to grieve 
The damage done 
Never see 
Never quake with rage 
At what we have become? 
What we have become 


Second Verse and Pre Chorus

Yeah we get down on we knee 
O, we play at chivalry 
But we do not count the cost
 We say
 "On Me you can depend"
 And
 "I will be there 'till the end" 
Though we will not bear the cross
 

Our word is so faint and feeble 
Broken by the slightest breeze or breath 
Our hearts are they're so deceitful 
Sick and filled with lies 
That lead to death 


Second Chorus

We are cowards and thieves 
Will we never turn to grieve 
The damage done 
Never see 
Never quake with rage 
At what we have become? 
What we have become 

Cowards and thieves 
Will we never turn to grieve 
The damage done 
Never see 
Never quake with rage 
At what we have become? 
What we have become 
At what we have become? 
What we have become
