🎶 King

Capo 4



Verse 1
We [A#] argue in the kitchen about [D#] whether to have children
About the [Bb] world ending and the scale of my ambition
And [Em] how much is art really worth [D#]
The very thing you're [Eb] best at is the thing that hurts the most
But you [A#] need your rotten heart
Your dazzling [D#] pain like diamond rings
You [Bb] need to go to war to find material to sing
I am no [Em] mother, I am no [D#] bride, I am [Db] King

Chorus
I need my [Em] golden crown of sorrow, my [Db] bloody sword to swing
My [Bb] empty halls to echo with grand [D#] self-mythology
I am no [Em] mother, I am no [Db] bride, I am [Eb] King
I am no [Em] mother, I am no [Db] bride, I am [A#] King

Verse 2
But a woman is a changeling, [D#] always shifting shape
Just when you [Bb] think you have it figured out, something new begins to take
What [Em] strangе claws are these, [D#] scratching at my skin
I [Eb] nеver knew my killer would be coming from within
I am no [A#] mother, I am no [D#] bride, I am [Bb] King
I am no [A#] mother, I am no [D#] bride, I am [Db] King

Chorus
I need my [Em] golden crown of sorrow, my [Db] bloody sword to swing
My [Bb] empty halls to echo with grand [D#] self-mythology
I am no [Em] mother, I am no [Db] bride, I am [Eb] King
I am no [Em] mother, I am no [Db] bride, I am [Eb] King
I am no [Em] mother, I am no [Db] bride, I am [Bb] King
I am no [Em] mother, I am no [Db] bride, I am [A#] King

Bridge
[A#] [D#] [Bb]
Ooh
Ooh, [Em] ooh, [A#] [Eb] ooh,
[A#] Ooh, [D#] ooh [Bb]
Ooh, [Em] ooh, [A#] ooh [Eb] ooh
[A#] [D#] [Bb] [Em] [A#] [Eb]
[A#] [D#] [Bb] [Em] [A#] [Eb] [Db]

Outro
And I was [A#] never as good as I always [D#] thought I was
But I [Bb] knew how to dress it up
I was never [Em] satisfied, it [D#] never let me go
Just [Eb] dragged me by my hair and [Db] back on with the [A#] show

[D#] [Bb] [Em] [D#] [Eb] [A#]⠀
