The King of Yesterday
[Verse 1]
Am Behold my crown of thunder. Em Behold my severed tongue, F C beneath this throne of wonder, whispers of futures yet to come. Am Em We were staring at the sun, the whole world at our feet. F C We danced atop the water. Now I sway wade in defeat.
Am - Em – F – C
[Verse 2]
Am C Silent is the kingdom, lonely jester left to stay. Dm G To walk amongst the ruins, of dreams I let decay. Am C The mirrors crack around me, reflections start to fray. Dm G I speak, but no one answers. My throne just fades to grey.
[Pre-Chorus]
Dm Am C Will the King of Yesterday, find a way Em Dm Am E E to rule again one day? He can't say.
[Chorus]
Am G F F When will it be good? I'm tired of waiting. Am G F F When will it be good? I'm tired of faking. Am G The sun is baking, burning. F C Em G G Time keeps taking, I'm left burning.
[Interlude]
Am – G – F – F
[Chorus]
Am G F F When will it be good? I'm tired of waiting. Am G F F Dream someday it could, a prince in waiting. Dm Am G The King of Yesterday, your throne is waiting.
[Bridge]
Dm Am G C Em In shadows I walk as memories unfold, D Am C G A crown of regrets and stories untold. Dm Am G C Em The portraits they weep, echoes of the past, D Am E E The King of Yesterday, his reign won't last.
[Solo]
Dm – Am – G – C, Em,
D – Am – C – G
Dm – Am – G – C, Em,
D – Am – E - E
[Chorus]
(reprise)
Am G F F When will it be good? I'm tired of waiting. Am G F F Dream someday it could, a prince in waiting. Dm Am G The King of Yesterday, your throne is waiting.
[Outro]
Am G F F When will it be good? I'm tired of waiting. Am G F F Dream someday it could, a prince in waiting. Dm Am G G The King of Yesterday, your throne is waiting. Dm Am The King of Yesterday, Dm Am The King of Yesterday, Dm Am The King of Yesterday G Your throne is waiting.
