Capo 3

[INTRO]

[A] [Am] [Em] [D] [Bm] [C] [G]

[VERSE 1]
From the co[Am]mfort zone of his[Em]tory
On the l[G]ips of trusted loved [D]ones
To the w[Bm]ounded, fragile [C]minds of angry [G]youths
No soo[Am]ner was it o[Em]ver
Than the me[G]mory made it n[D]obler
The sele[Bm]ctive means by w[C]hich to point the vi[G]ew

[CHORUS]

Compe[Am]lled, but n[Em]ot defea[D]ted
Surren[Am]der under pr[Em]otest if you must[D]
Co[Am]mpelled, but n[Em]ot defea[D]ted

[A] [Am] [Em] [D] [Bm] [C] [G]

[VERSE 2]

If it's all[Am] you can remember[Em]
Then it'[G]s been that way forev[D]er
And for [Bm]six long generat[C]ions it's been [G]told
But-among-the f[Am]allen was trad[Em]ition
That tra[G]dition was the missio[D]n
And that the wr[Bm]ongness of the s[C]in was not the [G]goal

[CHORUS]

Compe[Am]lled, but n[Em]ot defea[D]ted
Surren[Am]der under pr[Em]otest if you must[D]
Co[Am]mpelled, but n[Em]ot defea[D]ted

[A] [Em] [D] [A]

[VERSE 3]

Does the co[Am]lor really matter[Em] ?
On the face[Am] you blame for fa[Em]ilure
On the s[G]hamin' for a ba[D]ttle's losing c[A]ause
If the vict[Am]ims and aggressor[Em]s
Just remain[Am] each others othe[Em]rs
And the [G]instigators nev[D]er fight their [A]own

[A] [Am] [Em] [D] [Bm] [C] [G]

[CHORUS]

Compe[Am]lled, but n[Em]ot defea[D]ted
Surren[Am]der under pr[Em]otest if you must[D]
Co[Am]mpelled, but n[Em]ot defea[D]ted
Surre[Am]nder under p[Em]rotest if you mus[D]t
Surren[Am]der under pr[Em]otest if you must[D]

[C] [G] [D]
