----------------------------------- These Words / New Model Army (LOHC) ----------------------------------- [Verse 1] 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 [Chorus] C Dm Am But these things should never be spoken F G Am These things should never be spoken [Verse 2] 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 [Chorus] C Dm Am But these things should never be spoken F G Am These things should never be spoken [Verse 3] 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 [Chorus] C Dm Am But these things should never be spoken F G Am These things should never be spoken
