verse:

E F#m C#m A(bar)

Consider the odds, consider the obvious, the martyr is meaningless,

E F#m C#m

the campaign has died. In the planning stages and the fallen faces,

A(bar) E

are the singular proof that it was ever alive.

F#m C#m A(bar)

This purchased rebellion has been outdated, denounced and rescinded

E F#m C#m A

and left to die, championless, championless, championless

Chorus1:

E B A(bar mute G) A(bar mute G)

I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.

E B A(bar mute G) A(bar mute G)

Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.

E B A(bar mute G) A(bar mute G) E

I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.

E B A(bar mute G) A(bar mute G)

Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.

Verse2:

E F#m C#m A

Hope has sprung a perfect dive, a perfect day, a perfect lie

E F#m C#m A

A slowly crafted monologue conceding your defeat.

E F#m C#m A

This purchased rebellion has been outdated, denounced and rescinded

E F#m C#m A

and left to die, championless, championless, championless

Chorus2:

E B A(bar mute G) A(bar mute G)

I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.

E B A(bar mute G) A(bar mute G)

Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.

E B A(bar mute G) A(bar mute G) E

I begged you not to go, I begged you, I pleaded.

E B A(bar mute G) A(bar mute G)

Claimed you as my only hope, and watched the floor as you retreated.

Bridge:

E F#m C#m A

Does it comfort you to know you fought the good fight?

E F#m C#m A

E F#m C#m A

While you're left with nothing tangible to gain
