Intro (No instruments)
In the center of the city was a statue and her twin
And together they watched over everything
Oh, they saw me when I stumbled and they watched you help me stand
I'd swear Cecilia and her sister had it all planned

Then one morning I was walking, from my window to your door
Well I nearly hit the ground with what I saw
Cecilia had been broken, while her sister had been spared
And the vandals had scattered the pieces everywhere
This is the kind of finger pick to do throughout the song

Verse A (Guitar enters here, Strum once for the first Verse):
F5 C5 A5 F5
And I knew it made me wonder what kind of twisted mind
C5 A5 F5
Would ever hurt her, so thoughtless and unkind
C5 A5 F5
But a monster so cruel can't be that hard to find
F5
Boys
Verse B5 :
C5
So I started wearing warpaint and I gathered all my friends
A5 C5
For Cecilia we'd be hunters 'till the end
She was built for a perfect picture, but she came to represent
A5 C5
Though I guess I never understood exactly what it meant
Verse A5 :
F5 C5 A5 F5
Oh I know Cecilia and her sister were just statues made of stone
C5 A5 F5
But I still missed her and now her sister's all alone
C5
No that just won't do!
A5 F5
So let's raid the vandal's homes
F5
Boys
Verse C5 :
C5
So we ventured out at sunrise
A5
With our torches and our spears
C5
And our shotguns and our fears
A5
And our carefully hidden tears
C5
For Cecilia, Cecilia
Verse A5 :
F5 C5
Now I'm thinking of the moment
A5 F5
When we can look them in the eye
C5 A5 F5
And make them sorry, 'cause tonight they're gonna die
C5
Yeah, we'll shoot them up dead!
A5 F5
Leave their bodies where they lie
F5
Boys
Verse D5 :
C5
So now we're following the pieces of Cecilia to the door
A5 C5
Every shattered limb repeatedly reminding us of what we're searching for
And the sleepers have woken for now they have an aim
A5 C5
Yes they're quite aware of the cold hard fact that the city's loss could be their gain
Verse A5 :
F5 C5
They are dreaming of, the feeling of!
A5 F5 C5 A5 F5
A trophy in their arms, a hero's welcome, claiming women with their charms
C5 A5 F5
Oh I'm sorry if I hurt you, you know I swear I meant no harm
F5
Baby
Verse E5 :
C5 E5 A5 C5
So the trail, it keeps on turning as we wander through the streets
F5 C5 E5 F5
I keep looking at, the pieces of Cecilia at my feet
C5
But the strangest thing occurs to me
When I stop to look around
A5 C5
Oh I'd swear we are returning to the center of the town!
Verse A (Strum once for last verse.):
F5 C5
Yes we're back here, where we started
A5 F5 C5
Where Cecilia used to stand, but her sister looks different
A5 F5
Please, tell me boys, if you can?
C5
Is that a smile on her face?
A5 F5
Is that a hammer in her hand?
