AmThe price for which Gprogress was FsoldF  
CThere lies the Gtruth so I'm FtoldF  F  F  
If Ctogether you set Gout to Fconquer a Cmountain
   CPity the Gman who Fdares fall Cbehind
It's on the Amtrip to the Gtop that Ftemperaments are Ctested
It's Amon the Gdecent that Fmen tend to CdieC  
Can Cyou recogGnise a Fsin when you're Csinning?
  CLikewise Gtell that you're Fwinning 'til you've Cwon?
AmTriumph is Gnothing if not Fshared with someCone
Take Ammercy sucGcumb to the FcoldF  
CThere lies the Gtruth so I'm FtoldF  F  F  
CSomewhere Gupon a godFforsaken Cisland
  CCraggy and Gdamp Ffallen men Clie
AmFor thirty Gyears have their Fwidows been Cweeping
    AmNow their Gbabies are Fwaving CgoodbyeC  
CAm I the Gman I beFlieved I'd Cbecome?
Could CI without Gquestion take Fsides for Csomeone?
AmTie a bayoGnet to the Fend of the Cgun
And Amlet them decoGrate me with Fgold?F

CHave I the Gheart to Flove without Climit?

C G F C C

I was born in the northwest of England

C G F C C

Where industrial shells like monuments stand

Am G F C

Crumbling tombs from a forgotten land

Am G F F

The price for which progress was sold

C G F F F F

There lies the truth so I'm told

C G F C

If together you set out to conquer a mountain

C G F C

Pity the man who dares fall behind

Am G F C

It's on the trip to the top that temperaments are tested

Am G F C C

It's on the decent that men tend to die

C G F C

Can you recognise a sin when you're sinning?

C G F C

Likewise tell that you're winning 'til you've won?

Am G F C

Triumph is nothing if not shared with someone

Am G F F

Take mercy succumb to the cold

C G F F F F

There lies the truth so I'm told

C G F C

Somewhere upon a godforsaken island

C G F C

Craggy and damp fallen men lie

Am G F C

For thirty years have their widows been weeping

Am G F C C

Now their babies are waving goodbye

C G F C

Am I the man I believed I'd become?

C G F C

Could I without question take sides for someone?

Am G F C

Tie a bayonet to the end of the gun

Am G F F

And let them decorate me with gold?

C G F F F F

There lies the truth so I'm told

Is there such thing as a proud surrender?

Is it ever the right time to run?

What will you tell your sweetheart at the station

Am G F F

When her pretty waist you do hold?

C G F C

Have I the heart to love without limit?

C G F C

Have I the stomach to suffer unsure?

Am G F C

Have I the nerve to believe for a lifetime

Am G F F

Fortune will favour the bold?

C G F C

I'm tired of waiting to be pleasantly saved

C G F C

From the purgatory my own recklessness made

Am G F Am Am

Some days I long in the distance to hear

C G F F F F

A jackboot crack down the road

C G F F

There lies the truth so I'm told

C G F F

There lies the truth so I'm told
