intro/verse :

Am / Dsus4 / D

o . we promise pretty things ,
and we pledge with diamond rings;
we profess undying love .

but does that word hold any weight?
we reserve the right to break
any vow that draws our blood .

Em D Am
our word is so faint and feeble ,
Em D Am
broken by the slightest breeze or breath .

Em D Am
our hearts are , they’re so deceitful ,
Em D G
sick and filled with lies that lead to death .

Am
we are cowards and thieves .
Am G
will we never turn to grieve the damage done?
G Fmaj7
never see , never quake with rage at what we have become?
Fmaj7 Dm
what we have become .

Am / Dsus4 / D

yea we get down on one 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 .

Em D Am
our word is so faint and feeble ,
Em D Am
broken by the slightest breeze or breath .

Em D Am
our hearts are , they’re so deceitful ,
Em D G
sick and filled with lies that lead to death .

Am
we are cowards and thieves .
Am G
will we never turn to grieve the damage done?
G Fmaj7
never see , never quake with rage at what we have become?
Fmaj7 Dm
what we have become .
