King's Crossing

Capo: 6th Fret

Intro:

E minorEm C majorC

G+G D MajorD A minorAm

  E minorEm           C majorC
The King's crossing was the main attraction
G+G    D MajorD      A minorAm
Dominoes falling in a chain reaction
  E minorEm        C majorC
The scraping subject ruled by fear told me
G+G       D MajorD      A minorAm
Whiskey works better than beer
  E minorEm         C majorC
The judge is on vinyl, decisions aren't final
  G+G   D MajorD     A minorAm
And nobody gets a reprieve
  E minorEm      C majorC
And every wave is tidal
             G+G   D MajorD   G+G
If you hang around you're going to get wet
E minorEm            C majorC               G+G
A minorAm
I can't prepare for death any more than I already have
 E minorEm              C majorC
All you can do now is watch the shelves
  G+G     D MajorD      G+G
The game looks easy, that's why it sells

Chorus:
G+G          F#/Em
Frustrated fireworks inside your head
    E minorEm           C majorC
Are going to stand and deliver dark instead
  G+G         F#/Em
The method acting that pays my bills
     E minorEm         C majorC
Keeps the fat man feeding in Beverly Hills
    G+G          F#/Em
I got a heavy metal mouth, it hurls obscenity
   E minorEm          C majorC
And I get my check from the trash treasury
     G+G         F#/Em
Because I took my own insides out

E minorEm           C majorC
It don't matter cause I have no sex life
  G+G       D MajorD   A minorAm
And all I wanna do now is inject my ex-wife
E minorEm
I've seen the movie

    C majorC         G+G D MajorD A minorAm
And I know what happens
  E minorEm
It's Christmas time
    C majorC
And the needle's on the tree
  G+G    D MajorD       A minorAm
A augmentedA skinny Santa is bringing something to me
 E minorEm
His voice is overwhelming
    C majorC
But his speech is slurred
   G+G      D MajorD     G+G
And I only understand every other word

G+G           F#/Em
Open your parachute and grab your gun
 E minorEm             C majorC
Float down like an omen, a setting sun
G+G F#/Em
Read the part and return at five
    E minorEm            C majorC
It's a hell of a role if you can keep it alive
      G+G
But I don't care if I fuck up
  F#/Em
I'm going on a date
   E minorEm
With a rich white lady
 C majorC
Ain't life great?
G+G              F#/Em
Gi'me one good reason not to do it
(Because I love you)
 E minorEm    C majorC
So do it.

G+G D MajorD A minorAm

E minorEm C majorC

G+G D MajorD A minorAm

 E minorEm           C majorC
This is the place where time reverses
  G+G     D MajorD       A minorAm
And dead men talk to all the pretty nurses
 E minorEm           C majorC
Instruments shine on a silver tray

   G+G     D MajorD     G+G
Don't let me get carried away
   G+G     D MajorD     G+G
Don't let me get carried away
   G+G     D MajorD    A minorAm
Don't let me be carried away
