Verse
              E                     Abm
And I will flail under these lights,
      E                                             Abm
that seep down from the bitter sky tonight
        F#      E                  F#  Abm
and I will kick and beat my wrists together
             F# E                                 F# Abm                   F#
and feel an ocean breathing waves,   feel them licking at my face.
E                                 F# Abm
Ceilings don't exist and there are no floors beneath me.
F#         E                                   Abm           F#
If I were king of this night, would you become my queen?


Chorus
E         B            F#       Abm     F#       E
  And I hope, your majesty that you like your position.
        B             F#     Abm     F#       E
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side
           B                  F#           Abm     F#     E
and I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.
       B              F#
Just kiss me before I go


Verse
E                F# Abm                   F# E
  I'll have to walk a thousand miles
      F# Abm                             F#  E
just to find the ground deserving of your feet.
                           F# Abm          F#  E
You could throw me down and walk on me
             Abm                      F#
and I'd just look on through my love and through the haze.



Chorus
E         B            F#       Abm     F#       E
  And I hope, your majesty that you like your position.
        B             F#     Abm     F#       E
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side
           B                  F#           Abm     F#     E
and I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.
       B              F#
Just kiss me before I go


Bridge
E              Abm                  E
 The nightingales are singing now
        Abm      F#     E               Abm                 E
They're calling out our marriage to our subjects on their knees
            Abm     F#                      E
Their jewellery is thrown into the air
                             Abm                            E
They sigh at their release as their shackles hit the ground
                      Abm                 F#
The trumpets call out now, we're home at last


Chorus
E         B            F#       Abm     F#       E
  And I hope, your majesty that you like your position.
        B             F#     Abm     F#       E
I'll do everything I can to keep you by my side
           B                  F#           Abm     F#     E
and I'll stare off through the darkness to find us a kingdom.
       B              F#
Just kiss me before I go
