Capo 8th fret

          Em7                                               A7
With one light on in one room, I know you're up when I get home
          Em7                                                    A7
With one small step upon the stair, I know your look when I get there
               Em     Cmaj7           Bm7                 Em   Cmaj7         Bm7
If you were a king up there on your throne, would you be wise enough to let me go
           Em      Cmaj7     Bm7 C
For this queen you think you own

         Em     C     Am7     C               Em     C    Am7
Wants to be a hunter again, wants to see the world alone again
    C       Em       C    Am7       C     Em
To take a chance on life again, so let me go

           Em7               A7           Em7                A7
The unread book and painful look, the tv's on, the sound is down
    Em7                   A7             Em7                   A7
One long pause, then you begin, oh look what the cat's brought in

               Em     Cmaj7           Bm7                 Em   Cmaj7         Bm7
If you were a king up there on your throne, would you be wise enough to let me go
           Em      Cmaj7     Bm7 C
For this queen you think you own

         Em     C     Am7     C               Em     C    Am7
Wants to be a hunter again, wants to see the world alone again
    C       Em       C    Am7       C     Em G        Bm7  C
To take a chance on life again, so let me go, let me leave

         Em                 G/D            A
For the crown you've placed upon my head feels too heavy now
       Em                G/D                   A
And I don't know what to say to you but I'll smile anyhow
    Em      G/D         A         D
And all the time I'm thinking, thinking

          Em     C     Am7     C              Em     C    Am7
I want to be a hunter again, want to see the world alone again
    C       Em       C    Am7       C     Em
To take a chance on life again, so let me go
