[D] [Bm] I used to be a king, [A]
and [Bm] everything around me turned gold.

[Am] But it's alright, I'm [Bm] okay without you.
For [Dm] what it's worth, I must say [G] I love you.

night, I miss you.

heart.

[A] But it's alright, I'm okay, [G] I wanna know how you are.
[Am] And for what it's worth, I must [G] say I love you as you [Dm] are.
And in my bed late at night, [G] where are you?
