[Bb] [Gm] [Ab] [Gm]
[Ab] [Gm]
[Eb] [Gm] [Ab] [Gm]
[Bb] [Ab] [Bb] [Eb]
[Gm] And then the [Ab] street [Gm] feeding up to the money god
[Ebm] [Gm] Putting [Ab] tongues where they [Gm] did not intervene
[Cm] Stepping [Ab] stones of [Bb] human hearts
Into [Gm] the [Ab] land of [Bb] nothing but [Ab] greed was the [Gm] way there
And the [Cm] pain [Ab] is all [Bb] taken, no [Cm] giving
[Ab] There's [Bb] nothing to [Cm] believe [Ab] in [Bb] Alone
[Cm] We will [Bb] hang on with [Ab] a little battle way
[Gm] To be king for a day
[Ab] [Gm]
[Eb] [Bb] [Ab] [Eb]
[Gm] Everything's [Ab] blinking [Gm] up to the moon king
Trying to [Ab] get way [Gm] up with a smile
To [Eb] be a [Ab] suffer boy and [Bb] go to the blue clay lake
[Gm] In [Ab] my way [Bb] of living, it's not a piece [Bb] of ladder
To get [Cm] stronger [Ab] and [Gm] ambitious
To get stronger [Ab] [Bb] and satisfied of hunger
[Ab] [Bb] Make my [Cm] own way, we'll [Bb] schedule [Ab] it next week
To [Bb] be king for the day
King for the day
[Fm] [F] [Cm]
You're only here once, [F] so you gotta get [G] it right
No time to [Cm] fuss and fight
It's measured out [G] with someone else
It's in time, [Ab] no secrets to hide
[Gm] And the [Cm] pain [Ab] is all [Gm] taken, no [Cm] giving
[Ab] There's [Bb] not much to [Ab] believe in
[Bb] [Cm] Alone
[Bb] We will hang on [Ab] with a little battle way
[Eb] To be [Bb] king for a [Gm] day
[Ab] King [Bb] for a day
You've got to [Eb] be the [Gm] king
[Ab] King [Bb] for a day
And [Gm] to [Eb] be the [Gm] sultan
[Ab] King [Bb] for a day
Be king for a [Ab] day
[Bb] King for a day
King for a day
[Eb] And to be king for a [Ab] day
[Bb] Schedule it next week
