[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
[Chorus]
D If you're laid low A Asus4 A 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
