From Sight and Sound David Songbook [Intro] E5 D5 E5 D5 D5 E5 D5 E5 D5 [Verse 1]
E2 
I never wanted this. I was happiest

E2                                          D2
before they made me something I could never be.

                     D2
I even tried to run, and I tried to hide.

D2                                        E2
But God and Samuel let the people make me king.

                    E2
So I played along, tried to sing their song,

E2                                 D2
but I couldn't ever catch their melody.

D2
So many pressures now, and rules to follow now.

D2                                        Em
Am I breaking rules or are they breaking me?

                    Em
So, I spared a king to love my enemy,

                       Em
but there is never any mercy for me.

E
I made a sacrifice, paid a heavy price

                                       C     A
Only to have You take Your spirit from me.
[Verse 2]
E2
Just a shepherd boy out of Bethlehem,

E2
Then I helped you be a giant killer.

D2
Gave you my daughter's hand, I gave your father land,

D2                                         Em
But you are set on taking everything from me.

                          Em
You sang your song to me, a soothing melody.

Em
I didn't know some day you would betray me.

E
You were a son to me, but now my enemy.

                                          C      A7
You only loved me 'cause you wanted to be king!
Em Emaj7 C5 C A [Chorus]
       E5                  E5/D
I will take what I have to take,

        Bm7                  Cmaj7
Make mistakes that I have to make

       E5             D5
Put my enemies in the ground

Bm                   Cmaj7
Anything to keep the crown.

       Em                   E/D
I will steal what I have to steal,

           Bm                 C
and I will kill who I have to kill

         Em             D
I'll put anyone in the ground,

Bm                C                     E5     D5    E5    D5
anything to keep, anything to keep this crown.
[Chorus]
       E5                  E5/D
I will take what I have to take,

        Bm7                  Cmaj7
Make mistakes that I have to make

        Em             D
Put my enemies in the ground

Bm                   Cmaj7
Anything to keep the crown.

       Em                    E/D
I will steal what I have to steal

           Bm                  C
And I will kill who I have to kill.

          Em            D
I'll put anyone in the ground

Bm                C                     E5
Anything to keep, anything to keep this crown.
