Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[G][D][Em][G]
[Em]

[Verse 1]
You put your hand up, [G]you make
[Em]your bid
You got your pictures all
laid out on the grid
Look in the [G]garden,
in the surface [Em]ground
Buried everything [G]that
[Em]you never want found

[Verse 2]
And the [G]court will [D]rise
While the pillars [Em]all fall

[Interlude 1]
[G][Em]
We got the healer [G]and

[Verse 3]
the birthday cake
[Em]We got the real thing
and [G]we got the [Em]fake
You got the ladder [G]but where
is the [D]snake?[Em]
How my body begins to wake
[G]And the

[Verse 4]
court will [D]rise
While the pillars [Em]all fall

[Interlude 2]
[G][Em][G][Em]

[Verse 5]
You got the money [G]goin'
up your [Em]nose
You got the data,
don't control where it goes
But you have left it getting
down to [G]the [Em]bone
Your only memories on your mobile phone
[G]And the

[Verse 6]
court will [D]rise
While the pillars [Em]all fall

[Interlude 3]
[G]
[D]Out of [Bm]this

[Verse 7]
sentence
The ball and [F#m]the claw[Em][G]
And [D]all [Bm]these pronouncements
I can make up the voice
[A]of [Bm]the law[Em][G]
Out [Bm]in the market,
all our lives are on sale
[D]And the [G]balls are drifting
fur[Bm]ther apart
Recovery cannot [Em]fail
[F#][F#m][F#][F#m][F#]

[Verse 8]
Got [Em]the things you need
[G]and they're all in [Em]place
Got the big shot barrister to plead my case
Got my baby throwin'
up [G]on a [Em]chocolate milk
[G]The bla[Em]ck cat judge rea[G]ches for[Em] his silk

[Verse 9]
And the [G]court will [D]rise[G]
While the pillars [Em]all fall
[G][D]

[Verse 10]
[Em]We lost the line between
the [G]good and [Em]bad
We lost the line between the
sane and the mad
Used to draw the line
across the [G]writing pad
[Em]The line of conscience
that we never have had

[Verse 11]
And the [G]court will [D]rise
[G]While the pil[Em]lars all fal[D]l[Em]

[Interlude 4]
[D][Em][A][G][Em][D][A][G]
[Em][D][A][G][Em][D][A]
[Em][D][A][G][Em][D][A]
[Em]
So many reach[D]ing for it

[Verse 12]
[A]
So many reaching [G]out for [Em]it (you know
that [D]justice [A]is [G]bli[Em]nd)
So many are reach[D]ing for it
[A]So many reaching out[G] for it [Em](y o[G]u know
that [D]justice [A]is [Em]blind)
So many looking [D]out for it
[A]So many looking out for[Em] it
(you know that [D]justice [A]is blind)
