[Verse 1]
G G Red and blue and yellow Gmaj7 Just give me a smile G7 Kisses down a cheekbone G6 Stay here for a while C Forget about the nation Cm Forget about what's right G Dare voice a reservation A And kiss will turn to bite Cadd9 What use is wearing all white? Cm We'll stain our shoes with red G You'll inherit your true birthright A A crown of bones and lead G Gmaj7 G7 G6 A crown of bones and lead
[Verse 2]
G At the execution Gmaj7 You'll flash that charming grin G7 And ask me for a kiss G6 By tilting up my chin C And I'll do what I've been told Cm As you make each call G 'Cause I can't leave this chokehold A I am just too small G Whеn you're small
[Verse 3]
G7 C A life of charms in princely arms is worsе off than the start A D When you are just a favorite of a man without a heart C When you're small Cm He'll patronize, feed pretty lies G He wants to keep you down G7 And if you don't take action A7 Serve another twisted crown C When you're small Cm Sneak out at night and do what's right G A life is in your hands A For some godforsaken reason G Gaug You're the only one who understands
[Verse 4]
G Prince, you don't have much to offer Gmaj9 You don't look good in black G7 What if my pearly dagger G6 Ends up buried in your back? C And I'm sorry you're so lonely Cm/G But I'm up against a wall G And we don't owe you jack shit! A Jason least of all C If everyone in all white Cm Has shoes they've stained with red Gadd11 I'd rather have my poor knight G7 G Than your crown of bones and lead
