Chords
During the intro and verse, pull and hammer on the D string for the C and Am chords before transitioning to
next (listen to album version for strumming pattern).
For a simpler version, skip the hammers and play F instead of Fsus2.

C G I thought the candle was gonna go out Am F Fsus2 The wind was blowing and the door was open C G F Fsus2 F Fsus2 But the candle never went out, never went out C G The wave found its way to the shore Am F Fsus2 I thought it was a ripple and nothing more C G F Fsus2 F Fsus2 But the wave found its way all the way to the shore

C G I know the gamble never works twice Am F Fsus2 All the distractions of the table and the weighted dice C G F Fsus2 F Fsus2 But the thrill of it feels so nice, you'd do it all again C G But I look to the chips I'd lose Am F Fsus2 I'm standing on the platform with my neck in the noose C G F Fsus2 F Fsus2 And I know it's not my time, it's not my time

[Bridge]
Am And if I do all the things I do G While I tell myself that I'm staying true F No, I'll never stop, you know I'll never stop Am You know I'll never think about it Am Put an end to all this time G That I would spend with it on my mind F You know it never stopped, you know it never stopped Am You know I always wondered about it G I wondered about the wonder
[Chorus + Outro]
G Am F C Oooo-oh, I wear a rusting crown G Am F C I know this dynasty is falling G Am G# Am The crowd shouts for another round, F I see the ruin G F G F G The spectacular diamonds buried, icebergs, the minarets, and the marketplaces F G The signal fires of my invisible empire
