Intro: Am  F  C  G  Am  F  G  G#dim 

            Am              F                C              G              Am  
And I have seen black and white in my short life righteous wills and evil fights 
         F                   G    G#dim          
But we know that’s not the truth. 
          Am              F                C                 G              Am 
And in a crowd there’s a picture that we paint, we find our demons and our saints 
          F                  G   G#dim 
In their eyes are shades of gray. 
          Am                F           C                    G                 Am 
Amid our hearts there’s an unrelenting pain that screams, escape these dreary days 
      F           G    G#dim 
To go on we must obey. 
          Am      F                  C                  G                 Am 
And if I lose my fight for precious land, the blood of martyrs stains my hands 
          F            G    G#dim 
Will the people understand? 

     Am    F       C        Am            Dm 
And now I wish the ends convince all the world  
   E      Am           Dm 
I was a prince to the world 
   E        Am    
I was a prince 

Am  F  C  G  Am  F  G  G#dim 

              Am          F                C         G                Am 
And when I’m caught in a lost and lonely place, I'll do what it will take 
             F                G   G#dim 
when there’s nowhere else to run. 
           Am        F                  C            G                Am 
A man is praised for all his hearts of well that he gained all by himself 
             F              G    G#dim 
That’s the story time will tell. 
             Am            F                  C                     G              Am 
And when the sun seems to have its throne on high the world keeps spinning till we die, 
        F                 G  G#dim 
in the darkness we will shine on 

     Am    F       C        Am            Dm 
And now I wish the ends convince all the world  
   E      Am           Dm 
I was a prince to the world 
   E      Am           Dm 
I was a prince to the world 
   E        Am    
I was a prince 

Am   G               C                 G 
         Oh, it’s a prince’s point of view. 
Am        G     C             G 
False or true, history will choose. 
Am      G             C                G 
Win or lose, it’s a prince’s point of view. 
Am        G     C             G     G#dim 
False or true, history will choose.
