Intro:
F C G
Verse 1:
F C G
Gave my cloudless sky for your crooked scraper
F C G
I put in everything, I called in every favour
F C G
But give a man one sword, he thinks that he's a saviour
F C G
Watch him ride around, ******* weird behaviour
Chorus:
F C G
Guess I walked so you could run all the way from me
F C G
'Cause once you got what you want, you didn't want me
F C G
I put gold on your head, should've put wax paper
F C G F C G F C G
Did you get off going to bed with the kingmaker?
Verse 2:
F C G
Let you in my home, let you in my pictures
F C G
I was your pedestal and all I got was splinters
F C G
Should've seen it in the way you hate your sister
F C G
You love a strong woman, until it makes you bitter
Chorus:
F C G
Guess I walked so you could run, all the way from me
F C G
Now you say you're self-made, guess your memory's fuzzy
F C G
I put a crown on your head, should've put a wax paper
F C G
Did you get off going to bed with the kingmaker?
Post-Chorus:
F C G
Oh
kingmaker
F C G
Oh
kingmaker
F C G
Oh
kingmaker
F C G
Oh
kingmaker
Verse 3:
F C G
I can't say that I saw five, but I saw star potential
F C G
Another sweet, sweet boy that I took out the kennel
F C G
Back when his ego and his bark were mostly gentle
F C G
Left me in pieces for me to reassemble
Chorus:
F C G
Guess I walked so they could run all the way from me
F C G
But they don't have big enough guts for all that glory
F C G
They'll take my crown, head out west, and forget their creator
F C
Then they'll come back, they always do, to the kingmaker
Outro:
F C G
Oh
kingmaker
F C G
Oh
kingmaker
F C G
Oh
kingmaker
F C G
Oh
kingmaker
F Am G
Oh (You double cross, you star chaser)
F Am G
Oh (You little boy, you word breaker)
F Am G
Oh (Now look at you, the big player)
F Am G F
Oh (And look at me, the kingmaker).
