Thrice The Long Defeat

Tom: G Intro: D The tyranny of deterioration Gbm Worries me that it's all just a waste of time A E Taking one step forward, two steps back D Still I believe there's a breath through the thorns D And I believe there's somewhere that's warm Gbm A E And I believe that it's ever bright beyond this black Gbm Bm So keep holding on to hope without assurance Gbm Bm Gbm Holding on to a memory of light A Bm But will the morning come? For all I know A Bm Gbm We'll never see the sun, but together we'll fight the long defeat D Suffering that I see all around D It's enough to keep me crashing down Gbm A E Till I, I lay wrecked and reeling from these falls D Still I believe there's a word in the wire D And I believe there's a way through the fire Gbm A E And I, believe, there's a joy that blooms beyond these walls Gbm Bm So keep holding on to hope without assurance Gbm Bm Gbm Holding on to a memory of light A Bm But will the morning come? For all I know A Bm Gbm We'll never see the sun, but together we'll fight the long defeat Gbm Dbm Bm Together we'll fight the long defeat Gbm Dbm Bm Together we'll fight the long defeat Gbm Dbm Bm Together we'll fight the long defeat Gbm Dbm Bm Together we'll fight the long defeat Gbm Dbm Bm Together we'll fight the long defeat Gbm Dbm Bm Together we'll fight the long defeat
