The Confrontation Lyrics & Tabs by Les Misérables - International Cast
The Confrontation
guitar chords lyrics
Valjean at last, we see each other plain
Monsieur le mayor
You'll wear different chain
Before you say another word Javert
Before you chain me up like a slave again
Listen to me, there is something I must do
This woman leaves behind a suffering child
There is not but me who can intercede
In mercy's name, 3 days are all I need
Then I'll return, I pledge my word, then I'll return
You must think me mad
I've hunted you across the years
Men like you can never change
A man such as you
Believe of me, what you will/ Men like you can never change
Men like you can never change
A man such as you
Believe of me, what you will/ Men like you can never change
There is a duty that I am sworn to do/ Men like me can never change
You know nothing of my life/ No, 24601
All I did was steal some bread
You know nothing of the world/ My duty's to the law, you have no rights
You would sooner see me dead/ Come with me 24601
But not before I see this justice done/ Now the wheel has turned around, Jean Valjean is nothing now
I am warning you Javert/ Dare you talk to me of crime
I'm the stronger man by far/ And the price you had to pay
There is power in me yet, my race is not yet run/ Every man is born in sin, every man must choose his way
I am warning you Javert/ You know nothing of Javert
There is nothing I won't dare/ I was born inside a jail
If I have to kill you here I'll do what must be done/ I was born with scum like you, I am from the gutter too
And this I swear to you tonight
There is no place for you to hide
Your child will live within my care
Wherever you may hide away
And I will raise her to the light
I swear to you I will be there
