These Words
guitar chords lyrics
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
I’m 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
We’ve 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 she’s closing her doors
F G
She looked into the crystal and saw nothing at all
Am C
They’re waiting around here for something to happen
G Am
They won’t 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
