[Gm] [Ab] [Gm]
[Ab] [Gm]
[Bb]
[Gm] [Bb]
[Eb]
[Gm] Everyone's [Bb] creeping up [Gm] to the muddy garb,
[Bb]
[Gm] Looking for [Bb] tongues where they will not be,
[Cm]
Stepping stones [Ab] of [Bb] human heart sense,
[Gm] Into the [Ab] land of [Bb] nothing free,
[Ab] Run away [Bbm] then,
[Dm] All you've ever [Cm] had [Ab] is been [Bb] taken,
Forget [Cm] it, [Ab]
there's [Bb] nothing to [Cm] believe in,
[Ab] [Bb] [Cm] We'll hide [Bb] under [Ab] the far away,
To [Gm] keep her tight,
[Bb]
[Eb]
[Bb]
[Gm] Everyone's [Bb] looking [Gm] up to the looking pin,
[Bb]
[Gm] Trying to get [Bb] way up [Gm] with a smile,
[Eb]
To see the supper [Ab] born,
[Bb] To the figure clay,
In [Gm] my way [Bb] of living,
It's constant ladder,
The longer you get [Cm] stronger,
[Ab] The [Gm] ambition of love, The [Cm] stronger,
[Ab] The more you get [Bb] satisfied,
The [Cm] stronger,
[Ab] [Bb] We [Cm] will scat [Bb] you in [Ab] this way,
To [Bb] be king for the day,
King for the day,
[F] [G]
[Cm] You're only here once,
So you better [D] get it [Gm] right,
[G] No [Em] time to [Cm] pass and fight,
It's not so much,
If measure [G] that with someone,
It's [Bm] fine,
[Ab] Just remind that,
[Dm] Ladies,
[Cm] [Ab] Don't take [F] it, Forget it,
[Gm] [Cm]
[Ab] There's not [Bb] much to [C] believe in,
To [Ab] live alone [Bb] is not [Cm] for everyone,
[Bb] [Ab] I don't wait,
[Eb] To be king for the [Gm] day,
[Bb]
King for the day,
You get to be [Eb] the [Gm] king,
[Bb]
Yes,
[Gm] Get to be [Eb] the top [Gm] dog,
[Bb]
King for the day,
Be king for the [Ab] day,
[Bb] King for the day,
The [Gm] more you [Ab] will scat [Bb] you in this [Eb] way,
[Gm] [Bb]
King for the day,
[Gm] [Bb]
