Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

Verse 1

 Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things

 She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook

 The fact that they'd been blindly to see by those who preach and pray and teach

 But she falls short and the night explodes with laughter

verse 1 continued

 Don’t you come here and say I didn’t warn you

 About the way your world can alter

 And oh, how you try to command it all, still

 Every single time it all shifts one way or another

Chorus

 And I’m a goddamn coward, but then again so are you

 And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar

 As we evaded and hollering for you

  (STRUM ONLY ONCE)

And I never really knew, what to do

Verse 2

 Now I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable

 That I could read you just like a book

 For now I can only guess what’s coming next

 By examining your timid smile

  (STRUM ONLY ONCE)

And the ways that the old, old wind, blowin’ you back around

Chorus

 And I’m a goddamn fool, but then again so are you

 And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar

 Has me singing out and searching for you

  (STRUM ONLY ONCE)

And I never really knew, what to do

Bridge

(NOT SURE ABOUT THIS PART)

Sometimes I wish I could find my rose mary hill

 I sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I’d sing

 And every once in a while I’d sing a song for you

 That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea

  (STRUM ONLY ONCE)

And if I wanted it to, it would lead you back to me

Chorus

(STRUM ONLY ONCE ALL)

 And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar

 Is something that I have heard before

 a children’s tale, the lonesome wail

of a liiiiion’s roar
