Princes Motto chords by I Said Yes

• Difficulty: Intermediate

Intro:

F#m D A E Fm F#m D

Verse:
A
As we scrambled down the leafy aisles and clambered over wintry styles
F#m
And saw a scene unfold before our eyes as we adjusted to the night
D
Transformed, we stood, you asked if we were gonna stay
              A
As if we could
A
If you're basking in the glory of a long forgotten age
F#m
Or you're flaring up a dynasty that is hiding in its cage
D

You'll be nothing but confused about just who we came to save,
               A
We came to save

Chorus:
C#m     F#m D            A
Of this lie, and of this land
            E          Fm       F#m
You held my heart, you broke my hand
F#m       D              A
Of this lie, and of this land
            E          Fm       F#m  D
You held my heart, you broke my hand

Verse:
A
As we chased each other through the snow, uncovering the ground below
F#m
Giddy our world changed before our eyes as we adjusted to the night
D
Transformed, we stood, you asked if we were gonna stay
              A
As if we could
A
Were we really almost starving as we slept inside the train?
F#m
As we elbowed past the border posts and clattered through the rain?
D
Was the moon a swollen eyeball?
                                               A
As we staggered up the lane, we shook with pain

Chorus:
C#m     F#m D            A
Of this lie, and of this land
            E          Fm       F#m
You held my heart, you broke my hand
F#m       D  A               E
Of this lie, and of this hand
    Fm       F#m
You broke my heart
