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This purchased rebellion has been outdated, denounced and rescinded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This purchased rebellion has been outdated, denounced and rescinded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
Basking in your victory, hollow and alone


E F#m C#m A

E F#m C#m A
While you're left with nothing tangible to gain
