Verse:
Esus2*            F#11*
King of shadows, king of shades

Hades was king of the Underworld
N.C.
(Oh, it's about me? Go on)
Esus2*                     F#11*
But he fell in love with a beautiful lady
Esus2*                     F#11*
Who walked up above in her mother's green field

Esus2           F#11                  Esus2
    He fell in love with Persephone
Esus2                           F#11
Who was gathering flowers in the light of the sun
Esus2                            F#11
     And I know how it was because
            Esus2
He was like me

A man in love with a woman

Verse:
Esus2               F#11
And you didn't know how
                     Esus2
And you didn't know why
                             F#11
But you knew that you wanted to take her home
Esus2                     F#11
  You saw her alone there against the sky
Esus2                           F#11
It was like, she was someone you'd always known
Esus2                           F#11
It was like you were holding the world when you held her
Esus2                           F#11
Like yours were the arms that the whole world was in
Esus2                           F#11
And there were no words for the way that you felt
Esus2                           F#11
So you opened your mouth and you started to sing

Verse:
E*                          Esus2*
   And I know how it is because, he is like me
E*                  Esus2*
I know how it is to be left all alone
E*                               Esus2*
There's a hole in his arms where a world used to be
E*    Esus2*         F#11*
When Persephone is gone


Esus2
Esus2                  F#11
His work never done, his war never won
Esus2               F#11
Will go on forever, whatever the cost
         Esus2                        F#11
'Cause the thing that he's building his wall around
Esus2
Is already lost

Esus2*                  F#11*
Where is the treasure inside of your chest?
Esus2*            F#11*
Where is your pleasure? Where is your youth?
Esus2*                     F#11*
Where is the man with his arms outstretched?
               Esus2*
To the woman he loves
               F#11*
With nothing to lose
