Intro 
F*                G* 
King of shadows, king of shades 
Am*                A* 
Hades was king of the Underworld 
N.C. 
Oh, it's about me? 
Go on 


F*                         G* 
But he fell in love with a beautiful lady 
    Am*                     A* 
Who walked up above in her mother's green field 
F                   G 
He fell in love with Persephone 
        Am                      A 
Who was gathering flowers in the light of the sun 
F 
And I know how it was because 
     G 
He was like me 
Am           N.C. 
A man in love with a woman 


       F                 G 
Singing la la la la la la la 
Am               A 
La la la la la la la 
(Where'd you get that melody?) 
F                 G 
La la la la la la la 
(Let him finish, Hades) 
Am 
La la la la la la 



F 
And you didn't know how 
G 
And you didn't know why 
Am                             A 
But you knew that you wanted to take her home 
F                       G 
You saw her alone there against the sky 
Am 
It was like, she was someone you'd always known 
F                               G 
It was like you were holding the world when you held her 
Am 
Like yours were the arms that the whole world was in 
F                            G 
And there were no words for the way that you felt 
Am                                A 
So you opened your mouth and you started to sing 

 
F                 G 
La la la la la la la 
Am               A 
La la la la la la la

Am                A 
La la la la la la la 
F                 G

F*                   G* 
What has become of the heart of that man? 
Am*                A* 
Now that the man is king 
F*                    G* 
What has become of the heart of that man  
Am*      A*    F 
Now that he has everything? 
F              G 
The more he has, the more he holds 
Am                   A 
The greater the weight of the world on his shoulders 
F               G 
See how he labors beneath that load 
Am                   A 
Afraid to look up and afraid to let go 
F               G 
So he keeps his head low, he keeps his back bending 
Am                   A 
He's grown so afraid, that he'll lose what he owns 
F               G 
But what he doesn’t know is that what he's defending 
Am        N.C. 
Is already gone 
F*                   G* 
Where is the treasure inside of your chest? 
Am*                    A* 
Where is your pleasure? Where is your youth? 
F*              G* 
Where is the man with his arms outstretched? 
Am*                  A* 
To the woman he loves, with nothing to lose 


       F                 G
