F
Four o'clock in the morning,
    Am
and still we cannot sleep
F
turning over turning round
Am
twisting in our sweat

[Chorus]
     E                                  (G)
they say there is no rest for the wicked ones
     E                  Am
dear god - what have we done?
      E                        (G)
there is no rest for the wicked ones
     E                                  Am
dear god - what is this evil that we've done??
      E                        (G)
there is no rest for the wicked ones
     E                                  Am
dear god - what is this evil that we've done??

[Verse 1]
Am                    
 Is it that we wanted  
Am
 more than you gave
Am
 why did you put us then
Am
 in this smalltown grave
Am
 humility - is that what you want?
Am
 why did you make us then the way you did??
Am
 yes,we have pride
Am
 yes,we have pride -
Am
 is this our sin?
Am
 is this our sin?!

     E                                  (G)

[Chorus]

Is it the times that we've been out fighting?
well i'll tell you all those times -
we never really hurt anybody
or is it that we were eating
while other people were starving
is this our crime?
is this our crime??!

[Chorus]
     E                                  (G)

Is it the times we laughed about it all
through all those whisky nights so far away
yes,we have betrayed you
yes,we have betrayed you -
is this our crime?
is this our crime?!

dear god - this is this evil that we must have done
