C                      Am
Take these hands away,
       G                     C
Just rest for the writings of today
                      Am
Walk alone, holding price on faith
         G                   C
Singled out as a loss, they’d say

[Chorus]
                       Am
As trials are forgotten,
         G               C
Their crimes fall short to pay
                     Am
My captain is now waking
     G               C
And never fails to say 
         Am   G    C
That a poor mans poison
         Am      G          C
Could be anything that you love
      Am            G
When all that you know
    C             Am
is more than you need
               G      C
Some better off are alone

[Verse]
                              Am
If you failed before to rise,
            G                C
Would you stand again and fight?

Or cower down
            Am
Losing everything
           G               C
Your brothers know you to love

[Chorus]
Am
As trials are forgotten,
         G               C
Their crimes fall short to pay
                     Am
My captain is now waking
     G               C
And never fails to say
         Am   G    C
That a poor mans poison
         Am      G          C
Could be anything that you love
      Am            G
When all that you know
    C             Am
is more than you need
               G      C
Some better off are alone

[Outro]
         Am   G    C
That a poor mans poison
         Am      G          C
Could be anything that you love
      Am            G
When all that you know
    C             Am
is more than you need
               G      C
Some better off are alone
       Am      G      C
Some better off are alone
