Intro:    Am   C   Em   G6/E) 4x 
         (F   Fm) 

Em                          C 
    I have not come to worship you 
              Am                      F 
    Only flowers at your throne 
Em                        C 
    I have not come  to plead or beg 
              Am                      F 
    Or to claim what is my own 

 C                                       B 
    Oh I know you are the king 
 C                                                B 
    And you'll say you what is wrong 

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 

C                                       B 
    You are just as sad as me 
C                                            B 
    You are lonely flesh and blood 

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


Solo: (Am   C   Em   G6/E) 4x  
         (F   Fm) 

Em                              C 
    And now you bleed,  please spare my life 
                     Am                    F 
    You know I'm the chosen one 
Em                     C 
    I don't believe what you bequeath 
                       Am                      F 
    And I must do what must be done 

C                                         B 
    You say you're the only king 
C                                                B 
    But your words just fall like rain 

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