We Could Be Kings - Dave Hause - Devour
Standard tuning (EADGBe)
Arranged by Jack Cookson (Torn_Asunder)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dave tends to play these as powerchords, but sometimes puts in the third.
Either way, it's up to you. If you're a beginner to barre chords,
try transcribing the tab with the tool on the left to G voicings, and stick
a capo on 4th.

B
So this is rejection
G#m
And it's bringing you down
E
He told you that he'd find work soon
F#
Then he stopped coming around

That was the summer of sweet nights
G#m
He used to take you for rides
E
But it all changed in the backseat
F#
He came inside
G#m F# E
Well he's seen enough to know
B G#m F# E B
Hes old enough to know whats right from wrong
G#m F# E B F#
I know how hard it is to see things through
B E
Oh no did it rip you apart?
G#m
To be told we could be kings
E F#
When we were damned from the start
B E
Oh no did it rip you apart?
G#m F#
They told us we could be kings
E A B
When we were damned, damned from the start
B
You told him you loved him
G#m
But push had come to shove
E
There were no easy answers
F#
Mixing money and blood
B
He was too young to know better
G#m
And you were unemployed
E
The sergeant promised a cake walk
F#
But then he got deployed
G#m F# E B
I've seen enough, enough to know
G#m F# E B
It's not about which side you're on

Oh no did it rip you apart?
G#m F#
They told us we could be kings
E A B
When we were damned, damned from the start

We've been living to the left of the dial
A E
Hoping drinks and denial will keep us here
F# G#m
I'm not promising you some bright side
A
Were trying to break your stride

But you asked me, you asked me

He was gone in an instant
G#m
They say nobody was spared
E
Not gonna tell you he loved you
F#
Not gonna tell you he cared
G#m F# E B
Well I've seen enough, enough to know
G#m F# E B
Sometimes with the truth you gotta let it go
G#m F#m E B F#
I know how hard it is to keep it in

I wont going rip you apart
G#m
And tell you, you could be king
E F#
I don't wanna break your heart
