[First Part]

C#m           A         E          B
A court is in session, a verdict is in
C#m              A
No appeal on the docket today
     E      B
Just my own sin
C#m            A
The walls are cold and pale
E                   B
The cage made of steel
C#m      A
Screams fill the room
E                B
Alone I drop and kneel
C#m      A
Silence now the sound
E                         B
My breath the only motion around
C#m      A
Demons cluttering around
E                  B
My face showing no emotion
C#m            A
Shackled by my sentence
E                   B
Expecting no return
C#m          A
Here there is no penance
E                      B
My skin begins to burn

[Chorus]

            E                        B
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
                       D
Hiding hate that burns inside
D                             C#m
Which only fuels their selfish pride
E
(And I said oh) We're held captive
             B
Out from the sun
                          D
A sun that shines on only some
D                     C#m
We the meek are all in one

[Solo] C#m  A  E  B
       C#m  A  E  B

[Segunda Parte]

C#m       A             E
I hear a thunder in the distance
      B            C#m
See a vision of a cross
           A
I feel the pain that was given
E                    B
On that sad day of loss
C#m           A
A lion roars in the darkness
E                      C#m
Only he holds the key
C#m                 A
A light to free me from my burden
    E                       C#m
And grant me life eternally

C#m                A
Should have been dead
            E
On a Sunday morning
           B
Banging my head  
C#m           A
No time for mourning
      E           B
Ain't got no time

[Chorus]

            E                        B
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
                       D
Hiding hate that burns inside
D                             C#m
Which only fuels their selfish pride
E
(And I said oh) We're held captive
             B
Out from the sun
D#m                       D
A sun that shines on only some
D                     C#m
We the meek are all in one

( E  B  C#m  A )
( E  B  C#m  A )

[Bridge]

E
I cry out to God
        B         C#m
Seeking only his decision
        A
Gabriel stands and confirms
E                    B     C#m  A
I've created my own prison
E
I cry out to God
B                   C#m
Seeking only his decision
A
Gabriel stands and confirms
E                   B      C#m
I've created my own prison

[Chorus]

            E                        B
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
                       D
Hiding hate that burns inside
D                             C#m
Which only fuels their selfish pride
E
(And I said oh) We're held captive
             B
Out from the sun
D#m                       D
A sun that shines on only some
D                     C#m
We the meek are all in one

            E                        B
(And I said oh) So I held my head up high
                       D
Hiding hate that burns inside
D                             C#m
Which only fuels their selfish pride
E
(And I said oh) We're held captive
             B
Out from the sun
D#m                       D
A sun that shines on only some
D                     C#m
We the meek are all in one

[Outro]

E                               B
Should've been dead on a Sunday morning banging my head
D                          C#m
No time for mourning, ain't got no time
