[Verse 1]
Gm               F6
  Why am I gonna apologize?

Cm                 Dmaj
  What have I even done?

Gm                       F6
 Why you acting like you lost the crown

Cm                         Dmaj
  If you were never wearing one?

Falling ever deeper, dealing cards now

             Cm                        Dmaj
Now you can't recognize yourself on the deck

Gm                      F6
   I thought I was your queen of hearts

Cm                        Dmaj
But all the aces stole the check
[Chorus]
  Gm       F6
A prince, a prince

  Cm       Dmaj
A glorious game

  Gm       F6
A prince, a prince

  Cm                       Dmaj
Checkmate 'til you stole me away
[Verse 2]
Gm                    F6
Cursing words, am I a pauper now?

Cm                      Dmaj
Even though all my shoes do fit

Gm                          F6
Won't even let me leave the house past 12

Cm                   Dmaj
I ain't no fairytale chick

Gm                       F6
Happy endings cloud your head now

        Cm                        Dmaj
You have put your expectations too high

Gm                            F6
Sit on the bed, tears running down our eyes

Cm                 Dmaj
Once upon a time, I wonder why
[Chorus]
  Gm       F6
A prince, a prince

  Cm       Dmaj
A glorious game

  Gm       F6
A prince, a prince

  Cm                       Dmaj
Checkmate 'til you stole me away
[Verse 3]
        Gm
Darling hold on a second

                   F6
You know that your eyes and your smile are a weapon

                   Cm
Now come here, why won't you just listen?

                Dmaj
You tell me I'm hurting your arm with my grip

                      Gm
See now trust me, but never trust women

                 F6
Yeah they're perfect, I'm at home stressed

                   Cm
With this skunk spliff

                                              Dmaj
When I know that you're out on the road being faithless
Does it make sense?
       Gm
And my insecurities don't pay rent

 F6
But they're living with me

         Cm
And this is a disease

             Dmaj
We live in a man's world so what you expect me to be?

          Gm
Now, now, now

                                  F6
Whether it's the shit sex or this limp dick

                               Cm
My reflection keeps telling me sick things
You know that I'm ugly
  Dmaj
I hope that you want me, I'll make sure you love me
[Chorus]
  Gm       F6
A prince, a prince

  Cm       Dmaj
A glorious game

  Gm       F6
A prince, a prince

  Cm                       Dmaj
Checkmate 'til you stole me away
[Outro]
                     Gm             F6
No, I've never been a prince, no, no

                    Cm           Dmaj
And I tried to be a king, oh Lord

                       Gm             F6
Said I've never been a prince, no, no

                    Cm                          Dmaj
And I tried to be a king, but I let you down, my queen
Oh you let me down, my king
