[Intro]
e|-------------| B|---1---------| G|-----0-----0-| X4 D|---------2---| A|-3-----3-----| E|-------------|
[Verse 1]
C F A reporter in a jailroom, whispering her source to a dying bulb G While the prince is in a fable, peaceful in his cradle Am G F convinced of the impossible Dm G All those wicked words I used C F to build my wild Western truth Dm G I was just following the rules C F Yeah I did what I had to do
[Chorus 1]
Dm C G So now its later than it needs to be Em Am G And in the dulcet tones of dream F The prince atop his chariot G C Heaven bound and glory be
[Verse 2]
C F A mother in a market chases after children that she barely knows G While the father on the barstool, dropped off by his carpool Am G F is playing a familiar role Dm G I used to be a conquering king C F I watched the slow stars shoot and swing Dm G When I'd wake, the world would sing C F Now, I can't hear anything
[Chorus 2]
Dm C G So now its later than it needs to be Em Am G And while his stranger family sleeps F The king looks for his castle G C Heaven bound and glory be
[Bridge]
F C There's a myth we must've made Em F One we're spreading every day Dm G In every dying dream we grieve Em Am G The humming hole we fight and feed F It's the loving lives we long for G C Heaven bound and glory be
[Verse 3]
(Strum each chord once)
C A man in a hotel room, tangled to his teeth by the F telephone G He's waiting on a woman, wondering what she's doing, and Am G F pacing so his pulse won't slow.
(Fingerpick chords)
Dm G C He drums his legs and pulls his hair; he carves her dimples F in the air. Dm G C The raging world has spooked him scared, and he don't want F her lost out there.
[Chorus 3]
(Back to regular strumming pattern)
Dm C G So now it's later than it needs to be Em Am G And though his aching eyes want sleep Dm C G Against all rationality Em Am G Against everything he believes F He prays for her protection, G Am Dsus2/F# Heaven bound & glory be. F He prays for her protection, G C C/B Am G Heaven bound & glory be, oh F G And I pray for your protection, heaven bound and glory be
