Am (x02210@1)   D (xx0232@1)           AmO. (x02210@1)we promise pretty things,
Am (x02210@1)    D (xx0232@1)                AmAnd (x02210@1)we pledge with diamond rings;
Am (x02210@1)  D (xx0232@1)          Am (x02210@1)     DWe (xx0232@1)profess undying love.

Am (x02210@1)          D (xx0232@1)           AmBut (x02210@1)does that word hold any weight?
Am (x02210@1)    D (xx0232@1)                  AmWhen (x02210@1)we reserve the right to break
Am (x02210@1)D (xx0232@1)                AmAny (x02210@1)vow that draws our blood.

Em (022000@1)D (xx0232@1)                  AmOur (x02210@1)word is so faint and feeble,
Em (022000@1)   D (xx0232@1)                        AmBroken (x02210@1)by the slightest breeze or breath.

Em (022000@1)D (xx0232@1)                    AmOur (x02210@1)hearts are, they're so deceitful,
Em (022000@1)     D (xx0232@1)                           AmSick (x02210@1)and filled with lies that lead to death.

G/C (2431xx@7)   AmWe (x02210@1)are cowards and thieves.
                                        G/CWill (2431xx@7)we never turn to grieve the damage done?
                                                 Fmaj7Never (1x3210@1)see, never quake with rage at what we have become?
             DmWhat (xx0231@1)we have become.

Am (x02210@1)   D (xx0232@1)             AmYea (x02210@1)we get down on one knee
Am (x02210@1)  D (xx0232@1)        AmO, (x02210@1)we play at chivalry
Am (x02210@1)   D (xx0232@1)              AmBut (x02210@1)we do not count the cost.

Am (x02210@1)        D (xx0232@1)        AmWe (x02210@1)say, "On me you can depend,"
Am (x02210@1)        D (xx0232@1)               AmAnd (x02210@1)"I will be there till the end,"
Am (x02210@1)       D (xx0232@1)              AmThough (x02210@1)we will not bear the cross.

Em (022000@1)     D (xx0232@1)             AmOur (x02210@1)word is so faint and feeble,
Em (022000@1)   D (xx0232@1)                        AmBroken (x02210@1)by the slightest breeze or breath.
