 So it will look something like this:
O.  we promise  pretty things,
And  we pledge  with diamond rings;
We  profess  undying love.
But  does that word  hold any weight?
When  we reserve  the right to break
Any vow  that draws our blood.
Our word  is so faint and feeble,
Broken by  the slightest breeze or breath.
Our hearts  are, they're so deceitful,
Sick  and filled  with lies that lead to death.
We  are cowards  and thieves.
 Will we never turn to grieve the damage done?
 Never see, never quake with rage at what we have become?
 What we have become.
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.
Our  word is  so faint and feeble,
Broken by  the slightest breeze or breath.
Our  hearts are,  they're so deceitful,
Sick  and filled  with lies that lead to death.
We  are cowards  and thieves.
 Will we never turn to grieve the damage done?
 Never see, never quake with rage at what we have become?
 What we have become.
We  are cowards  and thieves.
 Will we never turn to grieve the damage done?
 Never see, never quake with rage at what we have become?
 What we have become.
 (Last chorus strum each chord once, follow with a beat on the guitar body)
 We are cowards  and thieves.
 Will we never turn to grieve the damage done?
 Never see, never quake with rage at what we have become?
 What we have become.
 Cheers and enjoy.

[Am]And we p[D]ledge with diamond [Am]rings;
[Am]We pro[D]fess undying [Am]love.    [D]

[Am]Any [D]vow that draws our [Am]blood.

[Em]Our [D]word is so faint and [Am]feeble,
[Em]Broken [D]by the slightest breeze or [Am]breath.

[Em]Our [D]hearts are, they're so [Am]deceitful,
[Em]Sick and [D]filled with lies that lead to [Am]death.

[G/C]We are c[Am]owards and thieves.
Will we never turn to grieve the damage [G/C]done?

(Last chorus strum each chord once, follow with a beat on the guitar body)
We are [Am]cowards and thieves.
Will we never turn to grieve the damage [G/C]done?
Never see, never quake with rage at what we have [Fmaj7]become?
What we have [Dm]become.

Cheers and enjoy.
