AmAm7/GFmaj7add9
So I was not the one you wanted
AmAm/GFmaj7add9
You can see I m reconciled
DmDm/CGsus 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
Fmaj7add9 C
Til the world fell back in place
C Gsus G
And left us where we are
1st CHORUS
C G G/B Am
I feel like the king when the queen loses faith
Am7/G Fmaj7add9 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/G Fmaj7add9 C
Maybe that s poetic justice but it s pretty hard to tell
Am Am7/G Fmaj7add9
And when the fortune wheel is spinning
Am Am/G Fmaj7add9
Luck is fortune s dirty joke
Dm Dm/C Gsus G
And a player s 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
Fmaj7add9 C
We had running through our hands
C Gsus G
When we were on a roll
2nd CHORUS
C G G/B Am
I feel like the king when the queen loses faith
Am7/G Fmaj7add9 C
And the crowd rushes in to tear down the gate

And declare what was mine I stole from someone else
Am7/G Fmaj7add9 C
Maybe that s poetic justice but it s pretty hard to tell
BRIDGE
E/G# Am Am7/G
It s hard to tell why the solid ground surprised us when we fell
C E/G#
It s hard to say it s life and death
Am Am7/G Fmaj7add9
Or just so many bitter words beneath your breath
C G G/B Am
I feel like the king when the queen loses faith
Am7/G Fmaj7add9 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/G Fmaj7add9 C
Maybe that s poetic justice but it s pretty hard to tell
3rd CHORUS
C G G/B Am
I feel like the king when the queen loses hope
Am 7/G Fmaj7add9C
And the crowd rushes in to raise the gallows pole
C G E/G# Am
And declare what they must do I m doing to myself
Am7/G Fmaj7add9 C
Well if that s poetic justice how can anybody tell
