(Heavy Palm muting)
 Gi'm starting to think the thoughts i shouldn't Cthink
 i think i think too much
 i Gthink that i forgot how to reDlax or just have fun
 but Gall of my attempts have met sucCcess much more than i would Gguess
 i guess that i Dmight not be dead Gyet
(release P.M.)
 i Gam the king, i've got my sons, i've Cgot my swords, i've got my words
 i've Ggot the strength that i need Dto kill all my foes
 the Gyears go by, my eyes run dry
 it's Cso hard to smile sometimes
 i fDeel so Galone upon this tDhrone
 Call of this, i did for her
 the Dtreasure from the dragon's lair
 the Ggold, the jewels, the Dcastle, and the Ccat
 so Cmany say they're proud of me and Di'm a good and honest king
 but Ghonestly it dDoesn't mean sChit to me without her,
 it Gdoesn't mean Cshit to me withGout her.
 'cause Gwhat's a king without his queen?
 how much Chappiness can power bring?
 i'd tGrade it all for a chance to Dfall in love again
 when Gwill i find a heart like mine?
 a Cheart like hers, i want sometime
 i Gtry and try, i Dthink i try too Ghard
 can Gi repair all my despair?
 can Ci hide how i feel inside, enGough at least to make myself lDook half 
 alive?
 Gwhat a king, what songs i sing, sad Cmelodies and sorry things
 i Ghope to bring a Dchange in this one Gday
 'cause Cwhat would people think of me, their Dmelancholy, lonely king
 that Gsings of such Dsad and sorry Cthings
 and Call the while i look for smiles
 and Dpreach about the way we're gonna Gmake this world inDto a better Cplace
(heavy palm muting)
 so Gmaybe everything's alright
 we'll Cstay up late riding our bikes, we'll Gtalk until you have to go to 
 Dschool
 Gmaybe i'm not broke so bad, just Csing a song that's not so sad
 am Gi the king or Dam i the Gfool?
(realease P.M.)
 Gmaybe i'm not broke so bad, just Csing a song that's not so sad
                 G  D(end on)G  
 am i the king or am i the fool?
