The Hands That Thieve by Toh Kay
The Hands That Thieve
G Gb Em
I felt no guilt ˜till I was caught, and I was told that I was guilty
C G D
And even then I wasn™t really sure, yeah yeah
C G D Em
That the thing I felt was guilt itself, or maybe it was something else
C D
Frustration at the fact that I was ever caught at all
G Gb Em
I told a lie, that multiplied, by the time I realized it
C G D
I™d given up everything I™d ever loved, yeah yeah
C G
˜Cuz the thing you lack, when you™re looking back
D Em
is the pressure you feel that you have to act
C D
That everything is clearer when you™re looking at the past, oh no.
INTERLUDE
(Em, C, G, D) x 2
C
And I don™t care if I lose,
G
because my heroes did too.
D
I shouted Court should be adjourned,
Em (C)
because the jury are fools.
G D (C)
And the judge can™t decipher his left from his right, or his right from his wrong.
C G D
And I will bite the hand that thieves, I will not turn the other cheek
Em (C)
This is no threat, it is a promise I will keep.
C G D
So what™s the point in pretending, when we™ve seen behind the curtain
D
And there™s nothin™ much to see, oh yeah
(NEXT VERSE/CHORUS IS SAME PATTERN CBA)
....
C
I won't forget,
G
the things you said,
D
when I was down,
Em
and I was tired of it.
G
The words you spoke,
D
They brought me hope...
C
When it was time to fight,
D
We chose a side,
Em C
But everyone knew that something didn't feel right.
G
So we stood our ground,
D
And waited for a sign......
