[B] [C#]
We are [C] friends, are we not?
[A#m] And our interests are the same.
We collaborate and trust in [C#] fate to parcel out the [C] blame.
There are ends [Fm] we've all got that [A#m] can justify the means.
We [F] negotiate and [C#] fabricate the facts behind [C] the scenes.
[C#] Keeping all the details, vacant secrets hidden.
[C#] Safe in the balance sheet of [C] those you trust.
Because history is a story told [C#] by the winners of the fight.
[C] You and Plylittle, Plylittle's fine [Fm] Plylittle sailor.
He's gonna question [F] what goes on in the middle of the [C] night.
Not a treacherous, lustful, [Fm] promiscuous, or a jailer.
[A#m] [Fm] So we all [C#] are agreed, let's be vigilant and [A#m] wise.
We must all [Fm] pretend our naive friend was caught in his [C] own lies.
For our [C#] plan to succeed, [A#] we must share but one belief.
And while Dante [F] stays and ends his days inside [C] the chateau d'If.
[C#] Whether such distinct he'll touch are [C] stones and [C#] darkness.
Deep in a craggy [C] island, dungeons keep.
[F] Because history is a story [C#] told by the men who make the laws.
[C] We supply little lies, we help the [Fm] gullible to buy a little [C#] fable.
[F] What will become of the righteous man who fashions Dante's flaws?
[C] The rich and well-respected animals will be rejected at our [F] table.
I'll be a [C] comfort in her time of [Fm] grief and [A#m] anguish.
I'll be Mercedes' ever [Fm] faithful acolyte of the night.
And part of [C] me wishes Dante's [Fm] didn't have to languish.
[C] But I can see, kiss him or [C#] me, let him sit there and rot till he's forgotten.
Let him [F#m] rot!
History is a story told by [D] the people who survive.
[C#] Let me sign and then initial.
It is true, you will never [F#m] see the story.
Lord, if that cost us one young man, so three more men can [D] survive.
He's a prize [C#] we have to pay.
So let them find another [F#m] day for love and glory.
[C#] [E] He's standing in the way of [F#m] friendship, is that what's said?
So stick to the story.
[F#] Here ends the story.
