[Verse 1]
     E                          G#m
We argue in the kitchen about whether to have children

           C#m
About the world ending and the scale of my ambition

     A                            G#m
And how much is art really worth

                       F#m
The very thing you're best at is the thing that hurts the most

         E
But you need your rotten heart

              G#m
Your dazzling pain like diamond rings

     C#m
You need to go to war to find material to sing

          A             G#m         B
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
[Chorus]
            A                          B
I need my golden crown of sorrow, my bloody sword to swing

    C#m                             G#m
My empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology

          A              B          F#m
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King

          A              B           E
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
[Verse 2]
                               G#m
But a woman is a changeling, always shifting shape

               C#m
Just when you think you have it figured out, something new begins to take

       A                         G#m
What strangе claws are these, scratching at my skin

   F#m
I nеver knew my killer would be coming from within

          E             G#m         C#m
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King

          E             G#m          B
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
[Chorus]
            A                          B
I need my golden crown of sorrow, my bloody sword to swing

    C#m                             G#m
My empty halls to echo with grand self-mythology

          A              B          F#m
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King

           A             B          F#m
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King

            A            B          C#m
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King

           A             B           E
I am no mother, I am no bride, I am King
[Bridge]
E  G#m C#m
Ooh

      A    E F#m
Ooh, ooh, ooh,

E     G#m  C#m
Ooh, ooh

      A    E F#m
Ooh, ooh, ooh ooh
E G#m C#m A E F#m E G#m C#m A E F#m B [Outro]
            E                         G#m
And I was never as good as I always thought I was

       C#m
But I knew how to dress it up

              A            G#m
I was never satisfied, it never let me go

       F#m                      B                 E
Just dragged me by my hair and back on with the show
G#m C#m A G#m F#m E
