[Verse 1]
D      Bb                 D
We are ready for the seige
Bb                          D
We are armed up to the teeth
          Bb                       D
Be careful how you live and breathe
Bb                              D
Release whats brewing underneath

{Fill the measures in between by strumming D)

[Pre-Chorus]** (See bottom of tab for riff)
D                   Bb
How many times do you wanna die?
D                   Bb
How many ways do you wanna die?

[Chorus]
        F                G                    D
To feel safe again, look over your shoulder.
     F               G                   D
Very carefully, look over your shoulder.

[Verse 2]
D      Bb                D
We can laugh about it now
Bb                          D
We hope everything works out
           Bb                      D
Be careful how you lick your wounds
Bb                               D
Believe the change is coming soon

Bb               F            G           Bb
You used to do a little but a little wont fly
                 F        G     Bb
Right before you hit your prime
                      F                G          D
Thats when we fell in love but not the first time

      D                    C
Can it please you still, renaming your fathers will?
           Bb                   D
Or does it make you ill? Let us bruise their knees
        C                                    Bb
We will aim straight for the feed, and you'll be relieved
   F           G                  D
So relieved, so relieved, turn on full desire
         C                                  Bb
Feel the sparks from the friendly fire, misery inspires
     F               G           D
Your throat has been cut several times before
      C                                    Bb
Never noticed the size of the flow, It cant be ignored
        F               G
To feel safe again, look over your shoulder
     F               G                     Bb
Very carefully, look over your shoulder

             F               G              Bb
You said you believed it but believin' wont fly
                 F         G        Bb
Right before you hit your prime
                       F                G          D      Bb
Thats where we fell in love but not the first time
                 
                 F            G           Bb
And when its all over and you open your eyes
                    F      G
See the room turned on its side
Bb                   F           G            D
You'll be lyin' by a note on the floor signed,
    C     Bb
The royal we
    F     Bb
The royal we
    F     Bb
The royal we
    F     Bb
The royal we
    F     Bb
The royal we
    F     Bb
The royal we
    F     Bb
The royal we
         F     Bb
Love the royal we.
