Broken Crown

	  		

Intro: Dm  C  Bb  Am   C/E  F  Gm C  Dm 

Verse:
 
Dm 
Touch my mouth and hold my tongue 

I?ll never be your chosen one 
            Bb                                Dm 
I?ll be home, safe and tucked away 
           Bb                                          Dm 
You can?t tempt me if I don?t see the day 


Dm 
The pull on my flesh was just too strong 

It stifles the choice and the air in my lungs 
           Bb                                              Dm 
better not to breathe than to breathe a lie 
                      Bb                                    Dm 
'cause when I open my body I breathe a lie 

Dm     C      Bb  Am   C/E  F  Gm C  Dm 

 

             Bb Dm C Dm C Dm 
I will not speak of your sin 
there was a way out for him 
the mirror shows not 
your values are all shot 

       Dm C   Dm  C     Dm       F             Bb 
But oh, my heart was flawed I knew my weakness 
     Dm C    Dm  C  Dm        F          Bb 
So hold my hand, consign me not to darkness. 

Dm      C      Bb  Am   C/E  F  Gm C  Dm 

Verse: 
Crawl on my belly ?til the sun goes down 
I?ll never wear your broken crown 
I took the road and I fucked it all away. 
Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace. 

So, crawl on my belly until the sun goes down 
I?ll never wear your broken crown 
I took the road and I fucked it all away. 
Now in this twilight how dare you speak of grace. 

Instrumental interlude: 
Bb  C  Dm  F  C (2x)

Bb  C  Dm  F  C  Dm 

Verse: 
So, crawl on my belly until the sun goes down 
I?ll never wear your broken crown 
I can take the road and I can fuck it all away. 
But in this twilight our choices seal our fate.
