[Verse]
Am                   C        G         Am Am(add11)
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things

            Am                 C           Am Am(add11)
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook

              Am                C             G                    Am Am(add11)
The fact that they've been blindly deceived by those who preach and pray and teach

    Am                      C                 Am Am(add11) 
But she falls short and the night explodes in laughter

              Am             C     G           Am Am(add11)
But don't you come here and say I didn't warn you

          Am         C         Am Am(add11)
About the way your world can alter

    Am          C        G            Am Am(add11)
And oh how you try to command it all still

      Am                C                   Am Am(add11) 
Every single time it all shifts one way or the other
[Chorus]
            F       C                G          Am
And I'm a goddamn coward, but then again so are you

         F      C         G      Am
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar

         F          C     G      Am
Has me evading and hollering for you

       F      C     G           Am
And I never really knew what to do

[Verse]
       Am         C                      G                Am Am(add11)
Well I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable

     Am                C           Am Am(add11)
That I could read you just like a book

    Am        C          G             Am Am(add11)
For now I can only guess what's coming next

   Am            C     G     
By examining your timid smile

        Am         C        G                         Am Am(add11)
And the ways of the old, old winds blowing you back 'round
[Chorus]
            F      C               G          Am
And I'm a goddamn fool, but then again so are you

         F      C         G      Am Am(add11)
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar

      F                C     G       Am
Has me seeking out and searching for you

     F     C       G            Am Am(add11)
And I never really knew what to do

[Bridge]
D                        F                 Am Am(add11)
Sometimes I wish I could find my Rosemary Hill

    D                         F                      Am Am/G Am Am(add11)
I'd sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I'd sing

           F          C        G              Am
And every once in a while I'd sing a song for you

            F               C                 G           Am
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea

           F                                    Am
And if I wanted it to it would lead you back to me
[Chorus] (let chords ring)
         F      C         G      Am
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar

       F          C        G     Am
Is something that I have heard before

     F        C           G      Am
A children's tale, the lonesome wail 

F     C   G  Am Am(add11)
Of a lion's roar
