King Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]We argue in the kitchen about
[F#]whether to have children
[F#m]About [Bm]the world ending and
the scale of my ambition
[A]And how muc[G]h is art really wor[F#]th
The very thing you're be[Em]st at
is the thing that hurts the most
But you need [D]your rotten heart,
your dazzling [F#]pain like diamond rings
You need [Bm]to go to war
[B]to [Bm]find mater[B]ial to [Bm]sing
I am [G]no mother, I am no bride
[F#]I am king[Em]

[Verse 2]
I need my [G]golden crown of sorrow,
[A]my bloody sword to swing
[Bm]My empty halls to echo
with grand [F#]self-mythology
I I am no [G]mother, I am no [A]bride
I am [Em]king
I am no [G]mother, I am no [A]bride
I am king
[D]

[Verse 3]
But a woman is a changeling,
[F#m]always shifting shape
Just when [Bm]you think you have it figured out,
something new begins to take
What [G]strange claws are these
[F#]scratching at [F#m]my skin?
I never [Em]knew my killer would
be coming from within
I am no [D]mother, I am no [F#]bride
I [Bm]am king
[G]I am no mother, I am no b[F#]ride
I am king
[Em][A]

[Verse 4]
I need my [G]golden crown of sorrow,
my [A]bloody sword to swing
I need my [D]empty halls to echo
with grand self-mythology
[F#]'Cause 'Cause I am no moth[G]er,
I am no [A]bride
I am [Em]king
I am no [G]mother, I am no [A]bride
I am [Em]king
I am [A]no [G]mother, I am no [A]bride
I [Bm]am king
I am no [G]mother, I am no [A]bride

[Interlude 1]

[G][F#]
[Em]I wa[A]s never as g[D]ood as I alway[F#]s thought I was
But I [Bm]knew how to dress it up
I was [G]never satisfied, it [F#]nev er let me go
Just [Em]dragged me by my hair and [A]back on
