[Intro 1]
[G][C][G][C]

[Verse 1]
I watched [G]you hold court with
the graduate class of your fan [C]club
Those [G]same tired stories at
the end of your favorite [C]bar
And to [Ebdim]give them a bit of suspense
[G]You tel[B]l them in the[G] present ten[C]se[Am]
[C]As if you believe that's the per
[G]son you somehow [D]still [C]are
The assump[G]tion was always that
you were a little too [C]special
to [G]pay the same share of
the dues that all of [C]us owe.
You convinced [Ebdim]us to change up the plan
[G]And pre[B]pare the road for the man[Am]
Instead [C]of just simply prepar
[G]ing the man for [C]the road
[D]Well, everything [Em]goes [G]out [C]of fashion
[D]You went way [Em]over [B]that [C]hill
[D]You couldn't go [Dm]on as it[D] has b[Am]een
[C]You [Cm]had to be [G]king of [D]the [G]never -wills
You used to say that my beers
were a bit too ex[C]pensive
To [G]get to the heart of what drove
a true seeker to [C]drink
And [Ebdim]after we both forced a lau[G]gh,
your eye[B]s tried to take t[G]hat joke b[C]ack [Am].[C][Em]
[G]Once you could tell that I knew,
that's what you really [C]think.
Well, [G]how [D]did this [Em]catastrophe h[C]appen
And [D]why is [Em]it happening [G]sti[C]ll?
[Em]You [D]couldn't go on a[Dm]s it ha[Am]s been
[C]You [Cm]had to be king o[G]f [D]the never [G]-wills
As we walked to my car,
we both heard a small pack of [C]coyotes
[G]Telling the neighborhood they
all found something to [C]eat
And [Ebdim]after the howls died away
[G]You [B]sobered up only to [Am]say
[C]It's [Am]too l[C]ate to be anything
[G]we never wanted [D]to [C]be
[D]I dropped you at
[Em]Hill[G]hurst [C]and
Franklin
To let [D]the long night go [Em]in fo[G]r the [C]kill
[D]You couldn't go [Dm]on as it[Am] has been
[C]You [Cm]had me k[G]ing of t[D]he never -[C]will[D]s
[G]And now you're the heart of a story
That goes on without [C]you
We've dis[G]tilled your whole person
to only the best [C]memories
You're [D]a f[Ebdim]ixture at all open mics[G]
The kids [B]ask me if we were [G]alike
[Am]But when[C] I look in the mirror,
[G]yours is the face that [C]I see
And it's [D]worse than [Em]I could
[G]have ima[C]gined
As I [D]lift up my [Em]glass [G]to get [C]filled
I [Em]refuse [D]to go [Dm]on as[D] i[Dm]t has be[Am]en I'd
[Cm]rather be [G]king of [D]the never -wills
[Em]I'd [C]rath[Cm]er be king[G] of the [D]never -wil[G]l s[D][G]
[Em]I'd [Cm]rather be [G]king of [D]the never [G]-wills
you
