[Intro] Em G D A Em G D A [Verse 1]
Em              G
Last king was a little more like

    D              A
The picture in our head

Em                 G
The one before was better still

       D                       A
But he promised just peace and bread

   G                   G
We called for more, we opened the door

        D               C
Saw the wolves were overfed

        Em                      G
But the drought is bleeding the harvest now

      D                A
And inside we all feel dead
Em G D A [Chorus]
      Em                     C
We've changed the meaning of reality

     G             D
Made humanity a commodity

   Em                  C
We traded devotion for self promotion

    G                    D
And wisdom for impulsive whims

Em                C
Sought after some shallow things

    G           D
The payoff is a shallow king

   Em                       C
So now we're stuck with the one

    G          D  Em  C
The king we deserve

    G          D
The king we deserve
Em C [Verse 2]
Em              G
How the hell did my neighbor drift

    D              A
So far away from me

Em                 G
We used to come to the fence to share

       D                       A
Now we hardly ever meet

   G                   G
All we do with each other

        D        C
These days is compete

Em            G
Not sure he'd care at all

      D             A
If I'm alone in the street
Em G D A [Chorus]
      Em                     C
We've changed the meaning of reality

     G             D
Made humanity a commodity

   Em                  C
We traded devotion for self promotion

    G                    D
And wisdom for impulsive whims

Em                C
Sought after some shallow things

    G           D
The payoff is a shallow king

   Em                       C
So now we're stuck with the one

    G          D  Em  C
The king we deserve

    G          D
The king we deserve
Em C [Bridge]
Am                 Am
Chose a strong, protective guy

     C                G
With perfect hair and honest eyes

Am                   Am
We're just trying to serve

    C       G
two masters

Am              Am
Can't expect to reap

C                         G
Different from what we've sown

    Am                  Am
Our pride won't bring a happy-ever-

C      G
After
[Chorus]
      Em                     C
We've changed the meaning of reality

     G             D
Made humanity a commodity

   Em                  C
We traded devotion for self promotion

    G                    D
And wisdom for impulsive whims

Em                C
Sought after some shallow things

    G           D
The payoff is a shallow king

   Em                       C
So now we're stuck with the one

    G          D  Em  C
The king we deserve

    G          D
The king we deserve
Em C G D Em
