Chords with lyrics

intro
E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm

verse 1
     E minorEm      G+G    D MajorD     E minorEm
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
       E minorEm         G+G      E minorEm
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
        E minorEm       G+G             D MajorD   E minorEm
The fact that they'd been blindly to see by those who preach and pray and teach
     E minorEm         G+G          E minorEm
But she falls short and the night explodes with laughter


verse 1 continued
      E minorEm      G+G   D MajorD     E minorEm
Don’t you come here and say I didn’t warn you
     E minorEm     G+G    E minorEm
About the way your world can alter
     E minorEm   G+G     D MajorD      E minorEm
And oh, how you try to command it all, still
    E minorEm         G+G          E minorEm
Every single time it all shifts one way or another

chorus
      C majorC     G+G        D MajorD      E minorEm
And I’m a goddamn coward, but then again so are you
     C majorC    G+G    D MajorD    E minorEm
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar
    C majorC     G+G   D MajorD    E minorEm
As we evaded and hollering for you
    C majorC   G+G   D(STRUM ONLY ONCE) E minorEm
And I never really knew, what to do


E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm


verse 2
    E minorEm        G+G        D MajorD     E minorEm
Now I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable
       E minorEm    G+G     E minorEm
That I could read you just like a book
    E minorEm   G+G     D MajorD       E minorEm
For now I can only guess what’s coming next
  E minorEm       G+G    E minorEm
By examining your timid smile
     E minorEm      G+G    D(STRUM ONLY ONCE)      E minorEm
And the ways that the old, old wind, blowin’ you back around

chorus
     C majorC    G+G       D MajorD      E minorEm
And I’m a goddamn fool, but then again so are you
     C majorC    G+G     D MajorD   E minorEm
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar
    C majorC        G+G   D MajorD    E minorEm
Has me singing out and searching for you
    C majorC   G+G   D(STRUM ONLY ONCE) E minorEm
And I never really knew, what to do


E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm
Em G+G D MajorD E minorEm


bridge
(NOT SURE ABOUT THIS PART)
E minorEm      D MajorD      C majorC        E minorEm
Sometimes I wish I could find my rose mary hill
 E minorEm       D MajorD      C majorC           E minorEm
I sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I’d sing


     C majorC     G+G    D MajorD        E minorEm
And every once in a while I’d sing a song for you
      C majorC        G+G         D MajorD       E minorEm
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
     C(STRUM ONLY ONCE)            E minorEm
And if I wanted it to, it would lead you back to me


chorus
(STRUM ONLY ONCE ALL)
    C majorC   G+G     D MajorD    E minorEm
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar
  C majorC       G+G    D MajorD    E minorEm
Is something that I have heard before
  C majorC     G+G     D MajorD    E minorEm
a children’s tale, the lonesome wail
E minorEm  G+G  D MajorD      E minorEm
of a liiiiion’s roar


E minorEm G+G D MajorD E minorEm
Em G+G D MajorD E minorEm
