[Intro] Am Em Am Em C Em C Em Fmaj7 Fm [Verse 1]
Em             C
I have not come to worship you

      Am              F
Or lay flowers at your throne

Em             C
I have not come to plead or beg

     Am               F
Or to claim what is my own
[Chorus]
C                    Bb
Oh I know you are the King

C                       Bb
And you say your word is Law
[Verse 2]
Em         C
I have come to cut you down

      Am              F
And to leave your body dead

Em             C
You do not mean so much to me

        Am              F
Nor that crown upon your head
[Chorus]
C                       Bb
You are just the same as me

C                     Bb
You are only flesh and blood

Em                   F   G      Am
And the time has come for you to die
[Instrumental] Am Em Am Em C Em C Em Fmaj7 Fm [Verse 3]
Em                C
And now you plead, please spare my life

        Am             F
You know I'm the chosen one

Em             C
I don't believe what you've decreed

          Am              F
And I must do what must be done
[Chorus]
C                      Bb
You say you're the only king

C                            Bb
But your words just fall like rain

Em                   F   G      Am     Em
And the time has come for you to die
