[C] [D]
[Am]
Now the pale morning [C] sings [G] of [Am] forgotten things She plays the tune for [C] those who wish to [Am] overlook
The fact that they've been blindly [C] deceived [A] By those who preach [Am] and pray and teach
But she falls short and the night explodes after
Don't you come here [C] and say I didn't [Am] warn you
About the way your world can alter
And oh how you try to [G] command it [Am] all still Every single time it all shifts one way or the other
And [F] I'm a goddamn [C] coward but [G] then again so [Am] are you
[F] And the [C] lions roar, [Em] the [Am] lions roar [F] As we evade [C] in and [G] holler in
[Am] For you [F] and I never [C]
[D] really knew what [Am] to [Em] do
[Am]
Now [C] [G]
[Am]
I guess [C] sometimes I wish you [G] were a little more [Am] predictable
That I could read [C] you just [Am] like a book
For now I [C] only [G] guess what's [Am] coming next
By examining [C] your
[G] timid smile
And [Am] the ways of [C] the old [E] ones over [Am] you, that's wrong
[F] And I'm a goddamn [C] fool but [G] then again so [Am] are you
[F] And the [C] lions roar, [G] the [Am] lions roar [F] As me seeking out [C] and [G] searching
[Am] For you [F] and I never [C] really [G] knew what [Am] to do
[C] [G]
[Am]
[C] Sometimes [G]
[Am]
[D] I wish [F] I could find my [Am]
rosemary
Sit
[D] there and look [F] at the deserted lakes
[Am] And I'd sing, and [F] every once in [C] a while I'd [G] sing a [Am] song for you
[F] That would rise above [C] the mountains and the stars and [Am] the sea
And [F] if I wanted it to, it would lead you back, back [Am] to me
[F] And the lions [C] roar, the [G]
[Am] lions roar [F] Is something [C] that I have [G] heard [Am] before
[F] A [C] children's tale [G] of the lonesome wail [F]
[C] of a
[G]
lion's roar
