New Model Army - These Words

C Dm Am
through the years of decay we walk like tigers in cages
F G Am
with each passing turn the smaller and smaller the circles
C Dm Am
every weapon and word legitimate now as protection

C Dm Am
but these things should never be spoken
F G Am
these things should never be spoken

C Dm Am
i stand undefeated alone in the ring just pacing
F G Am
the sweat and the blood dried on my hands all wasted
C Dm
iam shouting “come back and fight for i Am the king”
F G
but the lights are all out and the people are gone
Am C
weave always burned brightest when no one was watching
G Am
now i kiss the lines on your beautiful face

C Dm Am
but these things should never be spoken
F G Am
these things should never be spoken

C Dm Am
and sometimes your hunger for life seems like desperation
F G Am
and when i read about the world these days all i can feel is hatred
C Dm
the fortune teller sheas closing her doors
F G
she looked into the crystal and saw nothing at all
Am C
theyare waiting around here for something to happen
G Am
they wonat really want it when it rolls out to greet them

C Dm Am
but these things should never be spoken
F G Am
these things should never be spoken
