[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
