[Intro] Gadd9 F#m7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7/A (x 4) [Verse 1]
Gadd9     F#m7           Gmaj7     Dmaj7/A
Everyones creeping up to the money god

Gadd9     F#m7          Gmaj7           Dmaj7/A
Putting tongues where they didn't ought to be

Gadd9       F#m7      Gmaj7          Dmaj7/A
On stepping stones of human hearts and souls

Gadd9     F#m7    Gmaj7      Dmaj7/A
Into the land of nothing for free
[Chorus]
          Em7        A          F#m      Bm
Well the way that      we're living

         Em7        A        F#m      Bm
Is all take and        no giving

         Em7        A          F#m      Bm
There's nothing        to believe in

    G       F#m        Bm       A         G
The loudest mouth will hail the new found way

                      Gadd9     F#m7 Gmaj7    Dmaj7/A
To be king for a day
Gadd9 F#m7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7/A [Verse 2]
Gadd9     F#m7      Gmaj7     Dmaj7/A
Everyones licking up to the new king pin

Gadd9     F#m7    Gmaj7     Dmaj7/A
Trying to get way up with a smile

Gadd9        F#m7       Gmaj7     Dmaj7/A
Sing for your supper boy and jump to a finger click

Gadd9   F#m7 Gmaj7    Dmaj7/A
Ain't my way of living in style
[Chorus]
           Em7        A       F#m      Bm
'cause the ladder      gets longer

       Em7        A       F#m      Bm
And ambition          gets stronger

       Em7    A       F#m      Bm
I cant satisfy       the hunger

     G       F#m      Bm       A      G
That bad old moon has got you in its sway

                 Gadd9     F#m7     Gmaj7     Dmaj7/A
To be king for a day
Gadd9 F#m7 Gmaj7 Dmaj7/A G F#m7 [Bridge]
Bm                                          F#
You're only here once so you got to get it right

   F#sus4             Bm
(no time to fuss and fight)

Bm                                               F#
Cause life don't mean much if measured out with someone elses plight
[Chorus]
         Em7        A          F#m      Bm
Well the way that      we're living

         Em7        A        F#m      Bm
Is all take and        no giving

         Em7        A          F#m      Bm
There's not much        to believe in

    G       F#m        Bm       A         G
The loudest mouth will hail the new found way

                Gadd9     F#m7      Gmaj7     Dmaj7/A
To be king for a day

           Gadd9     F#m7       Gmaj7     Dmaj7/A
King for a day

           Gadd9     F#m7       Gmaj7     Dmaj7/A
King for a day
