[Bb]
[Gm] [Bb] You [Gm] see the killer [C] was a coward, dark deeds in dark towers
[Bb] So he [Gm] fled when they [C] came,
[Bb] blowing brass, [Bb] carrying chains
They wanna lock him in the dark, [G] they wanna kill what's [Bb] in his heart
And they left the town to hunt him down, they left one man to hold it down
But when they get back [C] he's in the throne, looks like the killer's fucking cloned
[Gm] Says he's got ideas of [C] his own, [Bb] but there's one thing he [F] killed to know
See there's a hero in [C] the crowd,
[Bb] and his heart [C] starts beating loud
[Bb]
Says the killer took his friend, and [Gm] decides that this is [Bb] where it ends
[F] So the night the [C] king's walking the tower, [Bbm] his eyes lit up with [F] all the power
[Bbm] And the hero's [C] ghosting by the guards, [Bbm] and his heart it's carrying [C] a charge
[Gm] He stabs him in his [C] cunning heart, [F] the [G] scream tore sea and [C] sky apart
[Bbm] So you want fears, we've [F] still got several,
[G] at least the killer's dancing [C] with the devil
And the hero [Bb] did it for days when you don't [F] know if the moon will even come
And then it lays down and I'm telling you [C] man it's sweet when it does
And when [Bb] I think of you [C] I think of spirit [Bb] defined
I think of all the love that we shared [F] in a very dark [G] time
So the hero did it [F] for the summer, for [Gm] long days with that [F] sun in your hair
[F] For [Gm] fires and family, [Eb] [Bb] for [Gm] the phrase don't ever [F] leave me
[Bb] The sorrow won't be finding me no [F] more, [Bb]
sorrow [Gm] won't be finding me [F] no more
Sorrow won't be finding me no more when you come and haul now
[Gm] [C] [Bb]
