G5                                               C5
 i'm starting to think the thoughts i shouldn't think

 i think i think too much
   G5                            D5
 i think that i forgot how to relax or just have fun
     G5                              C5                           G5
 but all of my attempts have met success much more than i would guess
                D5                 G5
 i guess that i might not be dead yet

(release P.M.)

   G5                                   C5
 i am the king, i've got my sons, i've got my swords, i've got my words
      G5                            D5
 i've got the strength that i need to kill all my foes
     G5
 the years go by, my eyes run dry
      C5
 it's so hard to smile sometimes
    D5      G5                D5
 i feel so alone upon this throne


 C5
 all of this, i did for her
     D5
 the treasure from the dragon's lair
     G5                     D5               C5
 the gold, the jewels, the castle, and the cat
    C5                                D5
 so many say they're proud of me and i'm a good and honest king
     G5            D5            C5
 but honestly it doesn't mean shit to me without her,
    G5            C5              G5
 it doesn't mean shit to me without her.
        G5
 'cause what's a king without his queen?
          C5
 how much happiness can power bring?
      G5                           D5
 i'd trade it all for a chance to fall in love again
      G5
 when will i find a heart like mine?
   C5
 a heart like hers, i want sometime
   G5              D5               G5
 i try and try, i think i try too hard
     G5
 can i repair all my despair?
     C5                           G5                             D5
 can i hide how i feel inside, enough at least to make myself look half 
 
 alive?
 G5                                   C5
 what a king, what songs i sing, sad melodies and sorry things
  G5               D5                  G5
 i hope to bring a change in this one day
        C5                                    D5
 'cause what would people think of me, their melancholy, lonely king
      G5             D5             C5
 that sings of such sad and sorry things
     C5
 and all the while i look for smiles
     D5                                G5                 D5           C5
 and preach about the way we're gonna make this world into a better place

(heavy palm muting)
    G5
 so maybe everything's alright
       C5                                    G5
 we'll stay up late riding our bikes, we'll talk until you have to go to 
 D5
 school
 G5                                C5
 maybe i'm not broke so bad, just sing a song that's not so sad
    G5             D5        G5
 am i the king or am i the fool?

(realease P.M.)

 G5                                C5
 maybe i'm not broke so bad, just sing a song that's not so sad
    G5             D(end on) G5
 am i the king or am i the fool?
