[Verse 1]
D5      Bb5                 D5
We are ready for the seige
Bb5                          D5
We are armed up to the teeth
          Bb5                       D5
Be careful how you live and breathe
Bb5                              D5
Release whats brewing underneath

{Fill the measures in between by strumming D)

[Pre-Chorus]** (See bottom of tab for riff)
D5                   Bb5
How many times do you wanna die?
D5                   Bb5
How many ways do you wanna die?

[Chorus]
        F5                G5                    D5
To feel safe again, look over your shoulder.
     F5               G5                   D5
Very carefully, look over your shoulder.

[Verse 2]
D5      Bb5                D5
We can laugh about it now
Bb5                          D5
We hope everything works out
           Bb5                      D5
Be careful how you lick your wounds
Bb5                               D5
Believe the change is coming soon

Repeat Pre-Chorus and Chorus

Bb5               F5            G5           Bb5
You used to do a little but a little wont fly
                 F5        G5     Bb5
Right before you hit your prime
                      F5                G5          D5
Thats when we fell in love but not the first time

[Solo] (haven't figured it out yet)
Rhythm under solo:
Dx16 Cx16 Bbx16  |  Play this progression twice.

      D5                    C5
Can it please you still, renaming your fathers will?
           Bb5                   D5
Or does it make you ill? Let us bruise their knees
        C5                                    Bb5
We will aim straight for the feed, and you'll be relieved
   F5           G5                  D5
So relieved, so relieved, turn on full desire
         C5                                  Bb5
Feel the sparks from the friendly fire, misery inspires
     F5               G5           D5
Your throat has been cut several times before
      C5                                    Bb5
Never noticed the size of the flow, It cant be ignored
        F5               G5
To feel safe again, look over your shoulder
     F5               G5                     Bb5
Very carefully, look over your shoulder

             F5               G5              Bb5
You said you believed it but believin' wont fly
                 F5         G5        Bb5
Right before you hit your prime
                       F5                G5          D5      Bb5
Thats where we fell in love but not the first time
                 
                 F5            G5           Bb5
And when its all over and you open your eyes
                    F5      G5
See the room turned on its side
Bb5                   F5           G5            D5
You'll be lyin' by a note on the floor signed,
    C5     Bb5
The royal we
    F5     Bb5
The royal we
    F5     Bb5
The royal we
    F5     Bb5
The royal we
    F5     Bb5
The royal we
    F5     Bb5
The royal we
    F5     Bb5
The royal we
         F5     Bb5
Love the royal we.
