[Verse 1]
Cm            Abmaj7 Gm7   Cm
You talked of subjugation
                Abmaj7  Gm7  Cm
I answered your violent plea
            Abmaj7 Gm7  Cm
Youth and infatuation
            Gb    Fm Dbm7 G7  Cm
Kept me too blind to see
                 Abmaj7    Gm7  Cm
You think you're someone's hero
                   Abmaj7    Gm7
You're hiding more than your eyes
Fm7              Gm7
I challenge your weak manifesto
    Abmaj7               Adim
The goal of a saviour is not to be
    D
Lionized


[Pre-Chorus 1]
Ebmaj7       Gm7      Ebmaj7
Back when it started
               Dm7              Fm7
I thought that justice was your goal
            Bm7
Then in the darkness
Bb            Am
You lost your mind
Am7       Eb
I lost my soul
G             Cmaj7      Gb            D
That's in the past and I won't be controlled


[Chorus]
     Em
Nevermore
     Fmaj7
Nevermore
       Bbmaj7                  B7
You'll torture my heart and my head
     Em
Nevermore
     Fmaj7
Nevermore
     Bbmaj7
Will I be afraid
         Am
Nor will I run away
       Dm7      F
It's behind me
E7         Am Gm   D7
Freedom is finally here
             Dm7                     Am7
You may have taken the lead but I'll even the score
Abmaj7                 Gm7
You won the battle you won't win the war
    Ab Gm7 Fm
Not now
    G7   Cm
and Nevermore

[Verse 2]
Cm         Abmaj7  Gm7     Cm
You had me down, defeated
               Abmaj7  Gm7 Cm
A state that I can't allow
              Abmaj7    Gm7    Cm
It's over, my fear's retreated
                 Gb Fm Dbm7 G7  Cm
I'm more like an army now
            Abmaj7   Gm7    Cm
You offered hope, salvation
          Abmaj7   Gm7
Gave me a place to be
Fm7             Gm7
But your vision of liberation
    Abmaj7
Was all about you
         Adim           D
It would never apply to me


[Pre-Chorus 2]
Ebmaj7         Gm7     Ebmaj7
I won't stay a martyr
                Dm7                Fm7
It's my turn to take back what you stole
                  Bm7
And this time I'm smarter
Bb       Am
I made a vow
Am7      Eb
I'm not alone
G         Cmaj7         Gb         D
Not dying now we're protecting our own


[Chorus]
     Em
Nevermore
     Fmaj7
Nevermore
       Bbmaj7                  B7
You'll torture my heart and my head
     Em
Nevermore
     Fmaj7
Nevermore
     Bbmaj7
Will I be afraid
         Am
Nor will I run away
       Dm7      F
It's behind me
E7         Am Gm   D7
Freedom is finally here
             Dm7                     Am7
You may have taken the lead but I'll even the score
Abmaj7                 Gm
You won the battle you won't win the war
    Ab Gm7 Fm
Not now
    E E7 Am
and Nevermore


[Bridge]
Am
There's no cause to celebrate
Am                       Fmaj7    Em7
Another soul consumed by hate and spite
Dm7               E     Am
Another destroyed life
           Bb                   Am
There's no pleasure, there's no joy
            Gm         Dm               C
It's just a story of a boy who lost his way
     Gbdim
Into shadows strayed
              B
He'll see the light of day


[Chorus]
     Em
Nevermore
     Fmaj7
Nevermore
       Bbmaj7                  B7
You'll torture my heart and my head
     Em
Nevermore
     Fmaj7
Nevermore
     Bbmaj7
Will I be afraid
         Am
Nor will I run away
       Dm7
It's behind me
E7         Am Gm   D7
Freedom is finally here
             Dm7                     Am7
You may have taken the lead but I'll even the score
Abmaj7                 Gm7
You won the battle you won't win the war
    Ab Gm7 Fm
Not now
    G7  Cm
and Nevermore
