Innocence
View chords used in this chart
A B
The sky hides what I wanna see
E A
Stars are like eyes, they're watching the dark
A B
Passion and fear run all over me
E A
Night is a ghost accusing my heart
C#m B
This life can be such a lonely place
E A
I hear the laughter as I fall from grace, I fall from grace
B A E
Now I am branded with original sin, world without end
Chorus:
E B
Who's gonna fight for innocence
A E
When we're always denying the proof?
E B
Who's gonna fight for justice
A E
When we wash our hands of the truth
A B
Like to go back to a simple life
E A
Be as a child in the Promised Land
A B
Wish I could sleep when night comes over me
E A
Dreaming of flowers falling out of my hands
C#m B
But I'm woken by the cries of an angry crowd
E A
Against a man whose love could save me now, oh, save me now
B A E
I'll drink the blood from your crown of pain, and they'll call us insane
Chorus 2x
