C                  D            G
Even now theres something to be proud about
AM                         EM
If you come up the hard way they remind you every day
       G          C
You're nothing
C                 D                G
My words in your mouth are mumbled all about
AM                                          C
You're like a tabloid journalist the way you cut and paste and twist

You're awful
C                              G              C
Go and tell it to your king, tell him everything
      AM                                     G            D
Tell him you know how i feel tell him you know how i feel
AM
At the palace gates when im all levered of my face
                             G
And i can work out what its not about
           AM                            G  HOLD G
And see snakes in eyes and a million danger signs

(REPEAT VERSE BIT)
If you come late you shouldnt dare complain
And you wont like this at all theres nothing to break your fall
And you know how i fell out of place
Until im levered off my face

G                     D          C         D
DRINKS AND SMOKES HIS CARES AWAY....(?)

LIVING IN THE RUINS OF A CASTLE BUILT ON SAND
