Chorus:
               D
If you're past tired
           A
There is a throne for you
            G
Whether the first, or last, to the fire
           D              A
There is a throne for you


Verse 1:
          G
Though at night you are deviled, by the angels you're wrestlin'
   D
No strength left to grieve, let alone give confession
A

Here's all I know, what I come here to share
       Em                                A
I have been to the throne, and there was nobody there

If you're laid low

There is a throne for you
     G
Even though you sold your soul
           D              A
There is a throne for you


Verse 3:
    G
The weather, the news, the self-isolation
    D
The loss of the muse, the disinformation
      A
We're made to take burdens, never meant to be shouldered
      Em                        A
Ain't no one so strong that the world's just a boulder


Verse 4:
    G                                          Dsus4
The past ain't the past, you find that so maddening
          D                                         Dsus4
Like it's already happened, look around you it's happening
          A                                                  Asus4 A Asus2
There are those who don't know, what it is they're defending
           Em                             A
They ain't been to the throne, they don't know that it's empty


Chorus:
       D                   Dsus2 D Dsus4 D
Though you lost your faith
                  A
There is a throne for you
                   G
Though you've been cast by the way
           D              A Asus4 A
There is a throne for you


Verse 5:
     G
What kind of a God, could the world take after?
     D                                 Dsus4
What father of daffodils, slavery, and laughter?
D  A
We take our first breath, from then on we're drowning
         Em                Asus4 A
Ain't no wonder the heart, beats itself to death pounding


Verse 6:
   G
No time to forgive, no time to forget
   D
Or time to consider which angels are better
    A                                         Asus4
The war is too big, for any one man to win it
       Em                  Asus4         A
I have been to the throne, and there was nobody in it

Chorus:
              D
So if you are wild
                          A
There is a throne for you
          G
Whether untouchable or defiled
           D              A
There is a throne for you


Verse 7:
         G                                          D
Come and sit by this fire, they claim that we've stolen
                                             Dsus4    D
Not a thing they could buy, could ever shine quite as golden
         A
Come and sit by this fire, we won it to share
             Em                             A
Though we're sinners and liars, new world's got to start somewhere


Verse 8:
      G
We're just skin and bones, ain't a one of us magic
       D
I have been to the throne, the throne never had it
      A
We're just skin and bones, in that there is power
       Em                        A
I have been to the throne, if we want it, it's ours
       Em                        A
I have been to the throne, if we want it, it's ours
