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 - EmFC [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] AmGFF [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.

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.

The King of Yesterday, your throne is waiting.
