[Verse 1]
[Am]How [F]can we sing about

Oh [Bm]love, [Am]how can we not sing
about [Bm]ourselves?
[Em]

[Verse 2]
When [G]the [C]king is made of [F]paper (the king
is made of paper)
And the king [G]is made [C]of piss (the king
[Em]is made [Am]of piss)
The king is coming down the fucking

[Verse 3]
I [F]am a stranger to religion [G]of [C]fear[Am]
I have no claim to the tears
of the [Em]queer[C]
But [F]I know it keeps the blind
man's white [G]cane near
[C]The [Am]blind man keeps
the white [Em]cane near

[Verse 4]
[Em]
And now the king is made [G]of [F]paper
(the king is made of paper)
And the king is [G]made [C]of piss (the king
is made [Em]of p[Am]iss)
The king is coming down
the fuck[Em]ing wall
[Dm]

[Verse 5]
[Dm]It was some self- fulfilling p[Am]rophecy
And we just [Bb]hung it up
Hung it up on the [F]gossip [Dm]tree
Saw a generation un[Am]der me
[Bb]Crying on the news
Oh, I [F]guess they have the blues

[Interlude 2]
[F][Dm][Am]

[Verse 6]
Cry[Bb]ing on the news
Oh, I [G]guess [Em]they [C]have the blues

[Verse 7]
How can you not sing [Am]about love?
[Em]
How can we not sing about
[F]ourselves?[C]
How can we,
how can we sing about [Am]ourselves?
Oh [Em]no, how can we sing,
sing about our love?
[F]

[Verse 8]
When the king is made of paper
(the k[C]ing is made of paper)
And the king is made [Em]of pi[Am]ss
(the king is [Em]made of piss)
The king is coming down
the fucking wall
[F]

[Verse 9]
And the king is walk[Em]ing [C]away
(the king is made of paper)
But the king is not our [Am]forest
(the king is made of piss)
[Em]The king is coming down, down,
down, [F]down, down, down
To kill [C]us all
