F     Dm             Bb
Is it right to carry hope
F           Dm              Bb
When you've hurt somebody so badly?
F       C               Dm                    Bb
In this town, there are more malefactors than saints on the ground.
        F                  C          Dm            Bb
And the ones that hurt the most never get the final word.
              Bbm
Or rarely, at least.

[Verse 2]
F     Dm          Bb
Is it right to carry on
F           Dm         Bb
When you've torn apart another human being's bond?
F           C            Dm                   Bb
And in this town, things change as quickly as they move around
        F                  C          Dm             Bb                   Bbm
And the ones that hurt the most never change or move around that fast, it seems.

[Verse 3]
        F           C            Dm                 Bb
But the lies in the walls aren't breaking anybody's falls.
        F               C                        Bb
And the things I try to tell myself are sounding hollow.
        F                 C
All the pieces are out of order,
            Dm                       Bb
And getting chased right down to the corners.
          F               C                 Dm         Bb  Bbm
You never win when you've won by taking the easy way.     (hold)
