[Verse 1]
BmI'm a prince and I live in a ship and I Eaim my rifle and I shoot from the hip
And I hDave a friend I pityF#  
Quite a bit
She said, “BmGrab your gun, let's have some fun
EShare with me your perigees
I hDave responsibilities, I cF#annot run! I do not wish the
[Chorus 1]
BmDeath of any living Emthing,
I might be a Dkiller but one day I shall be F#queen
And put an end to Bmslaughter, but until then I'm Emkeen
On staking claim to Dland and sea and everyfin beF#tween.”
[Verse 2]
I pBmlayed a game with eleven fools who tEold me not to break the rules
But wDhen have angels ever helped me F#yet?
And mBmagic isn't real and anywEay it doesn't matter
'Cause no mDatter what I conjure it could F#not help me deflect the angry
[Chorus 2]
DBmeath of every hopeful tEmhought
That I might be a loDver or a fighter that I’m F#not
In someone's spider Bmweb
Or net I could be cEmaught
But I'm too bitter, bDetter off alone, guess I forF#got
[Hook]
So wDhat do you want me to say, sBmorry?
Should EI apoloDgize, when you ignBore me?
I didn't aDsk to be right or to be lBmonely
Or tDo be hatched inCto an ugly Bstory
[Verse 3]
I Bmam a prince and I had a pair of pErincesses in two sharp squares
But tDhen I guess I bored them both to dF#eath
And Bmnow I think my calling is to bEreak apart and fall to pieces
BDetter yet invent a brand new mF#ethod of ascension
[Chorus 3]
I'm impBmressed, you've managed to surEmvive
But rest assured we'd aDll be better off dead than aF#live
'Cause when they get a hBmold of us we'll all be batter-Emfried
And I'm surprised that nDobody's considered switching sF#ides
[Verse 4]
So hBmere I am, respectfully and rEoyally destroying
Any cDhance of getting back on your good gF#ills
And I dBmon't mean to be hurtful but if yeEllows the new purple
Well then blDeeding's the new breathing, don't you tF#hink I will!
[Chorus 4]
I used to wish the DBmeath of every living tEmhing
I might be your kDiller but you'd never be my quF#een
So put away your lBmaughter, pack up your hopes and dEmreams
I'm done with black bDack-handing and red pandering, it sF#eems
That I am just patBmhetic, I won't be overEmlooked
I'm past the point of fDishing to get back upon your F#hook
I've made a maniBmfesto, I've been bested by a cEmrook, but never more!
I'm pDlanning on reclaiming what he tF#ook...
[Hook]
So wDhat... Did you want me to say sBmorry?
Should EI apoloDgize, when you ignBore me?
I didn't aDsk to be right or to be lBmonely
Or tEo be hatched inDto an ugly Bstory
DTo be hatched inCto an ugly sBmtory
Oh Emy, this pantomDime is getting gBory
