Capo 4
Verse 1
--------
Am Am7 F
So I was not the one you wanted
Am F
You can see I'm reconciled
Dm Dm/C Gsus G
Must you be so disappointed
Dm Dm/C Gsus G
Can you not carry on in style
Am G/B C
Is it too much to say we loved hard
F C
'Til the world fell back in place
C Gsus G
And left us where we are
Chorus 1
---------
C G G/B Am
I feel like the king when the queen loses faith
Am7 F C
And the crowd rushes in to tear down the gate
C G G/B Am
While the whole palace slept and I never rang the bell
Am7 F C
Maybe that's poetic justice, but it's pretty hard to tell
Verse 2
---------
Am Am7 F
And when the fortune wheel is spinning
Am F
Luck is fortune's dirty joke
Dm Dm/C Gsus G
And a players chance of winning
Dm Dm/C Gsus G
Is diminished by his hope
Am G/B C
Can't you laugh just to think of the gold
F C
We had running though our hands
C Gsus G
When we were on a roll
Chorus 2
---------
C G G/B Am
I feel like the king when the queen loses faith
Am7 F C
And the crowd rushes in to tear down the gate
C G G/B Am
And declare what was mine I stole from someone else
Am7 F C
Maybe that's poetic justice, but it's pretty hard to tell
Bridge
---------
E Am Am7 F
It's hard to tell why the solid ground surprised us when we fell
C E
It's hard to say, it's life and death
Am Am7 F
Or just so many bitter words beneath your breath
Chorus 1
---------
C G G/B Am
I feel like the king when the queen loses faith
Am7 F C
And the crowd rushes in to tear down the gate
C G G/B Am
While the whole palace slept and I never rang the bell

Chorus 3
---------
C G G/B Am
I feel like the king when the queen loses hope
Am7 F C
And the crowd rushes in to raise the gallows pole
C G E Am
And declare what they must do, I'm doing to myself
Am7 F C
Well if that's poetic justice, how can anybody tell?
