Standard (EADGBE)

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

i think i think too much

  i think that i forgot how to relax or just have fun

  but all of my attempts have met success much more than i would guess

  i guess that i might not be dead yet

(release P.M.)

  i am the king, i've got my sons, i've got my swords, i've got my words

  i've got the strength that i need to kill all my foes

  the years go by, my eyes run dry

  it's so hard to smile sometimes

  i feel so alone upon this throne

  all of this, i did for her

  the treasure from the dragon's lair

  the gold, the jewels, the castle, and the cat

  so many say they're proud of me and i'm a good and honest king

  but honestly it doesn't mean shit to me without her,

  it doesn't mean shit to me without her.

  'cause what's a king without his queen?

  how much happiness can power bring?

  i'd trade it all for a chance to fall in love again

  when will i find a heart like mine?

  a heart like hers, i want sometime

  i try and try, i think i try too hard

  can i repair all my despair?

  can i hide how i feel inside, enough at least to make myself look half

alive?

  what a king, what songs i sing, sad melodies and sorry things

  i hope to bring a change in this one day

  'cause what would people think of me, their melancholy, lonely king

  that sings of such sad and sorry things

  and all the while i look for smiles

  and preach about the way we're gonna make this world into a better place

(heavy palm muting)

  so maybe everything's alright

  we'll stay up late riding our bikes, we'll talk until you have to go to

  school

  maybe i'm not broke so bad, just sing a song that's not so sad

  am i the king or am i the fool?

(realease P.M.)

  maybe i'm not broke so bad, just sing a song that's not so sad

  am i the king or am i the fool?
