Kingpin

 
C          F              C          F 
Good to be back where I'm nothing to no one 
C           F            C       F 
Men shaking hands at the station 
Am           C             F               C 
Scoured the country for a reason I should try 
        Am               F              C 
I met a girl on borrowed time, read her letter 
       G              Am 
Crying at the port in Dublin 
        F                  G 
And the snow was falling 
 

 
Am            F           G 
Honest, I was gonna call it 
          Am             F           C                      G 
But all I know is to get up, holding on with a mouth full of blood 

{Chrous} 
        C                F 
I guess now the light is showing 
            Am             G 
I've got no concept of how much I owe 
C            F                Am       G 
I was always going to pay you back 
C          F            Am                G 
Hopelessly devoted to a construct of something to show 
C            F              Am      G 
Never really knowing what I have 
 

 
C           F            Am           G 
Tried to be free, not to need godless England 
C           F            Am        G 
Holding the sleeve of the kingpin 
C           F                   Am         G 
Now, if you leave, I'll sell my teeth and crawl back home 
            C         F 
Call me the prodigal son 
         Am               G 
But I was always where I'm from 
 

 
C                F 
Now the light is showing 
             Am              G 
I've got not concept how how long I've known 
      C             Am          G 
That life was always going to be unfair 
C           F           Am               G 
Hopelessly devoted to a construct of somewhere to go 
C            F        Am         G 
I am getting older and I'm scared 
 

 
C        F 
And I'm scared 

Am    G 
 

 
       C           F 
I will wreck it on purpose 
       Am         G 
I don't think you deserve it 
            C                  F 
First you're stern, then you're sorry 
       Am           G 
Saying stay in your body 
          C            F 
Won't you stay in your body 
       Am            G 
Can you stay in your body with me?
