F
four o’clock in the morning ,
Am
and still we cannot sleep
F
turning over turning round
Am
twisting in our sweat

[ chorus ]
E ( G )
they say there is no rest for the wicked ones
E Am
dear god – what have we done?
E ( G )
there is no rest for the wicked ones
E Am
dear god – what is this evil that we’ve done??
E ( G )
there is no rest for the wicked ones
E Am
dear god – what is this evil that we’ve done??

[ verse 1 ]
Am
is it that we wanted
Am
more than you gave
Am
why did you put us then
Am
in this smalltown grave
Am
humility – is that what you want?
Am
why did you make us then the way you did??
Am
yes , we have pride
Am
yes , we have pride –
Am
is this our sin?
Am
is this our sin?!

we never really hurt anybody
or is it that we were eating
while other people were starving
is this our crime?
