Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

If priests are princes' hallowed shadowed souls

if devils are angels cast to know

I live forever with a sharp regret

it might be a surprise to know I never wished for death

a hint of misery made its way along

to those who've never harmed or never wronged

if honesty changed the hearts of men

who could contend?

if all I thought were true

in this great divide that is my life

I fear to think of all I'd undo

if all I thought were true...

The verse chords are the same, followed by another chorus.
