Dont Tell And We Wont Ask

If you’ve made it here you’ve experienced the excellence that is Thrice and for that I salute you. I sat down and tried working this song out the other day and this is what I’ve come up with It’s a pretty simple song to play and it can sound very good with the right strumming patterns and vocals Let me know what you guys think! [Chords used] Em    x22xxx G     32xxx1 A4    xx22xx Dsus2 xxx32x C     x32x1x Cmaj7 x32xxx D6/9  xxx2xx [Verse 1] Paint the target We don’t need no evidence Flood the market    A4              Dsus2 We do it all in self defense You’re a smart kid Never work without your gloves If you’re a smart kid        A4            Dsus2 You’ll stay the hell away from love [Pre-Chorus] And if it comes to murder Don’t tell and we won’t [Chorus] Ask you how you sleep at night          C                        Dsus2 When the lights go out and you’re all alone With all the ghosts of lesser humans       Em                       Dsus2 Whose lives you’ve spilt to suit your own [Verse 2] Em (hold) Sit and think of All the dollars and the cents And your blue blood        A4             Dsus2 You’ll see it all makes perfect sense Drink from this cup A better life awaits us all You’re one of us   A4              Dsus2                A4 (hold) Remember conscience comes before the fall [Bridge 1] Note: I like to strum the Em in a breakdown-ish pattern.. it can sound very cool. Your actions all are justified Your actions all are justified [Pre-Chorus]     A4 (hold) And if it comes to murder       C (hold) Don’t tell and we won’t [Chorus] Ask you how you sleep at night          C                        Dsus2 When the lights go out and you’re all alone With all the ghosts of lesser humans       Em                       Dsus2 Whose lives you’ve spilt to suit your own [Bridge 2] Cause it’s need to know We don’t need to know We don’t need to know At this point I play this chord progression into the outro.. I think it sounds pretty good. Dsus2 [Outro] Don’t we all know life is sacred? Don’t we all know we bleed the same red blood? The last three chords are played with the last three words of the song. If you have anything to add or comment please feel free in the name of progress! Keep on rocking! ;)
