VERSE 1

Em D/F# G

King or cripple what have I become?

Em D/F# G

Beneath these kingly robes there lies a fragile man

Em D/F# G

What made me a king can sometimes cripple

Em D/F# G

All that you give can sometimes rob my innocence

Em D/F# G

Why do you let us walk upon a cliff so steep

Em D/F# G

When deep below the sea there lies a bed of gold

Em D/F# G

And if this should be our battle place

Em D/F# G

Don't let me fall, don't let us fall

CHOURUS 2x

Em D/F# G

Keep me, won’t you

Em D/F# G

You took the broken man and you treat him like a king
