Sticks And Stones

	  		
verse 1 
      C#m    E  A E       N.C. 
Did I pledge my allegiance 
        C#m E    A  E       N.C. 
For the pur-pose of progress 
     C#m    E  A E      N.C. 
To a priest or a prophet 
        C#m E  A   E       N.C. 
Playing god in the process? 
      C#m E    A  E       N.C. 
Was I cha-sing convenience 
     C#m  E  A E     N.C. 
In a wave of disaster 
          C#m E      A E     N.C. 
Where the cap-tain's a captor 
          C#m E   A  E      N.C. 
And I'm a pup-pet to pastor? 

Pre-Hook 
C#m E A E 
          A worthless war, a curtain torn 
                        C#m E A E 
To take control of this ship 

A nail of shame, a broken vein 
                      C#m   E A E 
To write redemption a script 

A truthless gun, a dying Son 
                      C#m    E A E 
To turn the tables we flipped 

Turn the tables we flipped 


                    F#m   E/G# A 
Paint the beauty we split 
            B       C#m   E A 
Paint the beauty we split 
            E/G#    F#m   E/G# A 
Paint the beauty we split 
            B       C#m   E A 
Paint the beauty we split 

Nah nah nah, nah 



verse 2 
C#m E A E                          N.C. 
        They don't get it, I don't get it 

We're committed to sticks and stones 
C#m E        A      E                   N.C. 
    What's a vision if it's driven to imprison? 

I don't know 
C#m E A E                          N.C. 
        They don't get it, I don't get it 

We're committed to sticks and stones 
C#m E   A      E                      N.C. 
    Undecided, but I'm trying still divided 

So it goes
