[Bm]
[G] [A] [B]
[F#m]
[B] [Bm] In a grave [Em] of roses,
[Bm] Wearing nice clothes [B] in the end.
My soul is so cold,
But I [Bm] wanna live again.
I know you'll come to me,
I will be your baby.
[Em] I won't
[Bm] [A] [Dm]
[C#] hide,
[G]
[D] From [Em] the light.
I [Bm] won't hide [G] my eyes,
[A] The choice is mine,
[D] I may not [C#m] love [Bm] all you know.
[D] I'm safe to start [A] again,
[F#m] But what did I want [B] to live,
In [G]
that place?
[D] The way I [A] was rightfully [G] king,
I may not know nothing else,
[A] But I am king.
I'll walk [Bm] tonight,
[G] [A]
[Bm]
All the [E] years I [G] needed,
[C#]
[Bm] Was a reason to believe.
You held me, hold on,
You ignited fire in me.
You are only, you know [Em] me.
Don't make me wait for [Bm] a sleeping [A]
man,
[Em] Cause I,
[Bm]
[Em] Surely,
I [Bm] want your love, [G] my love.
[A] The choice is [D] mine, I know it on [C#m] my [Bm] mind.
[D] I'm safe to start [A] again,
[F#m] But where do
[B] [Bm] [G] I [D] go?
The way I was [A] rightfully [G] king,
I may not know nothing [A] else,
But I am king.
[G] I'll walk tonight,
[D] [A]
[G] [Bm] [F#]
[D] [A]
[G] I'm [Bm] breathing, still [D] breathing,
But I [A] can't fight this [D] fear [G] alone,
This [B] fear that is [A] killing soul.
But [F#] now I know,
I'll [Bm] die, no [G] lie,
[A] The choice is mine, [D] I may not [A] love [Bm] all you know.
[D] I'm safe to [A] start again,
[F#] The way I
[B] [Bm] [G]
[D] [A] was rightfully [G] king,
I may not know nothing [A] else,
But I know that,
I want [Bm] to live.
[G] [A] I want [Bm] to live.
[G] I know [A] there is,
A [B] way to live.
[Bm]
