I am a prince and I live in a ship and I aim my rifle and I shoot from the hip
D Gb
and I have a friend I pity quite a bit
Bm Gb E
she said “grab your gun let’s have some fun share with me your perigees
Bm E
I have responsibilities I cannot run ”
Gb D Em D
“I do not wish the death of any living thing I might be a killer but one day I shall be queen
Bm
and put an end to slaughter but until then
G D C
I’m keen on staking claim to land and sea and everyfin between ”
B D
I played a game with eleven fools who told me not to break the rules
C G
but when have angels ever helped me yet
E Bm
and magic isn’t real and anyway it doesn’t matter
G C
cause no matter what I conjure it could not help be me deflect
Em D
the angry death of every hopeful thought
C G
that I might be a lover or a fighter that I’m not
D Gb C
in someones spider web or net I could be caught
G D (one strum)
but I’m too bitter better off alone guess I forgot
Em D (one strum)
So what Do you want me to say sorry
C Cmaj7 G (one strum)
should I apologize when you ignore me
Em D (one strum)
I didn’t ask to be right or to be lonely
C Cmaj7 G (one strum)
or to be hatched into an ugly story
E Bm
I am a prince and I had a pair of princesses in two sharp squares
C G
but then I guess I bored them both to death
Em D
And now I think my calling is to break apart and fall to pieces
C G D
better yet invent a brand new method of ascension
Em C
I’m impressed you’ve managed to survive
G D
but rest assured we’d all be better off dead than alive
E G C
cause when they get a-hold of us we’ll all be batter fried
G D
and I’m surprised that nobody’s considered switching sides
Em Bm
So here I am respectfully and royally destroying
C G
any chance of getting back on your good gills
E D
And I don’t want to be hurtful but if yellows the new purple
C G
well then bleeding’s the new breathing don’t you think I will
D Em C

D G
I might be your killer but you’d never be my queen
D E Bm
so put away your laughter pack up your hopes and dreams
C G
I’m done with black back-handing and red pandering it seems
D G Em
That I am just pathetic I won’t be overlooked
D C
I’m past the point of fishing to get back upon your hook
D Em C
I’ve made a manifesto I’ve been bested by a crook but never more
G D
I’m planning on reclaiming what he took…
Em D (one strum)
So what do you want me to say sorry
C Cmaj7 G (one strum)
should I apologize when you ignore me
