IVORY ROAD - KING CHARLES

GYou're (320003@1)the nose on my bullet
The trigger on my gun
           BYou're (x2444x@1)the sandbank in the ocean
Oxygen in my blood
           CYou're (x32010@1)the fastest of the fish
You're the prickliest pear
         GYou're (320003@1)a chameleon in the night
You're the sahara's sun glare

GYou're (320003@1)my mind's rest
You're the strings on my guitar
           AmYou're (x02210@1)the wax in my moustache
The keys to my car
           DYou're (xx0232@1)the magical mermaid's hollowed illusion
You cool them, fool them
And they hope so much
        GAnd (320003@1)you let them down
And you watch from your rock
And your heart beats fast as you watch their's stop

GI (320003@1)will keep on loving
'Cos I believe in love
  AmI (x02210@1)don't mind dying
If you follow me up
     GYour (320003@1)victory's your defeat
Your head above your heart
Am (x02210@1)                
Only the brave surrender
DDeath (xx0232@1)cannot tear us apart

Interlude: G  Am  D  G

GWell (320003@1)my smile is wider
Than your's when we meet
        BAnd (x2444x@1)the winter is colder
For me underneath
      CAnd (x32010@1)I know that you glow
From the inside out
        GYou (320003@1)can keep it for yourself
And I'll go without

GYou (320003@1)are the fire and I'm the chimney
You'll burn away and I'll choke on your memory
        AmAll (x02210@1)the words, my sense, you're the poet to my pen
You're the dream that brings the morning sadness
D (xx0232@1)                       GStart (320003@1)the day storm in my head
GWell (320003@1)you're the Oscar Wilde short stories in my bookcase
       AmYou're (x02210@1)positively 4th street isolated in my itunes
           DYou're (xx0232@1)the word in the dictionary that I can't spell
                               GCan't (320003@1)describe, can't put in a sentence but use all the time
GYour (320003@1)own pair of trousers look better on me
    AmThe (x02210@1)boots of spanish leather
And the bottom of the sea
      DEvery (xx0232@1)symbol of love that doesn't relate to a meaning
      GEvery (320003@1)feeling, every sensation
Only real when I'm dreaming

GI (320003@1)will keep on loving
'Cos I believe in love
  AmI (x02210@1)don't mind dying
If you follow me up
GYour (320003@1)victory's your defeat
Your head above your heart
AmOnly (x02210@1)the brave surrender
D (xx0232@1)                           GDeath (320003@1)cannot tear us apart

GWell (320003@1)I wish we were animals free of loves games
  AmI (x02210@1)wish we were snails with really big shells
  DI (xx0232@1)wish I was a lion, I'd be king of the wild
    GI'd (320003@1)command all the beasts to carry you when you're tired

GI'm (320003@1)the elephant in the circus
Oh, you're my trainer
      AmYou'd (x02210@1)never let me go
But if you did I would stay here
   DIn (xx0232@1)love there is freedom
But it must be returned
      GThere (320003@1)must be sacrifice
Love must be learnt
  GA (320003@1)donkey, a mule, a lifetime of work
   AmIn (x02210@1)death he rests his head from his reins
No burden to bare but work left him lame
        DAnd (xx0232@1)the lion on the mountain chased from his pride
His lioness stolen, his rival survives
    G (let ring...)
The sound of his cubs in death are dim
He knows his world well, no pain can defeat him

G (320003@1)                AmWild (x02210@1)horses in the wilderness
     D (xx0232@1)             GWill (320003@1)know no journey home
                          AmWell (x02210@1)my love is locked in chains
    D (xx0232@1)        GThe (320003@1)lion walks alone
            AmOh (x02210@1)the lion walks alone
DNature (xx0232@1)is cruel
       GBut (320003@1)he knows it's his home
GHe (320003@1)to his demons
    AmAnd (x02210@1)you to your own
DPlease (xx0232@1)let me stand by you
