F#              F         D#    C#
There was honor among the theives
         B       A#      G#m6
The only truth I could believe
But when the lies applied to me and mine
They're better left unsaid

We could write the hit parade
Outside the masquerade
The headache comes in tidal waves

B          A#     G#m6
The spoils of the spoiled
B          A#     F#...
The spoils of the spoiled

...F D# C# B A# C#

The lines of history 
Became the scenery
It's strictly an accessory
An image to uphold

But it's all in fun and sin 
Until someone calls it in
The cycle comes around again

        B       
But I'm older now
G#m          F#
Don't you know 
B                    G#m   F#
I've figured out the antidote
B               G#m        F#
It overwhelms engulfed in smoke
B                  C#
It's all we can to cope

   F#         F     D#      C#        B 
God*** these idle hands as hindsight can
              C#                 B
Our hopes and plans are unfulfilled
        A#           G#m C#
It's over...It's overwhelming

          F#     F         D# C# 
There's a proper place and time
           B                C#
Though the bags under your eyes
         B 
They don't lie
         A#
They don't lie
         G#m  C#  F#      
They don't lie
