First Aid Kit - The Lions Roar

capo on 5

intro
Em G D Em

verse 1
Em G D Em
now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
Em G Em
she plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
Em G D Em
the fact that they’d been blindly to see by those who preach and pray and teach
Em G Em
but she falls short and the night explodes with laughter

verse 1 continued
Em G D Em
dont you come here and say i didnt warn you
Em G Em
about the way your world can alter
Em G D Em
and oh , how you try to command it all , still
Em G Em
every single time it all shifts one way or another

chorus
C G D Em
and im a goddamn coward , but then again so are you
C G D Em
and the lions roar , the lions roar
C G D Em
as we evaded and hollering for you
C G D ( strum only once ) Em
and i never really knew , what to do

Em G D Em

verse 2
Em G D Em
now i guess sometimes i wish you were a little more predictable
Em G Em
that i could read you just like a book
Em G D Em
for now i can only guess whats coming next
Em G Em
by examining your timid smile
Em G D ( strum only once ) Em
and the ways that the old , old wind , blowin you back around

chorus
C G D Em
and im a goddamn fool , but then again so are you
C G D Em
and the lions roar , the lions roar
C G D Em
has me singing out and searching for you
C G D ( strum only once ) Em
and i never really knew , what to do

Em G D Em
Em G D Em

bridge
( not sure about this part )
Em D C Em
sometimes i wish i could find my rose mary hill
Em D C Em
i sit there and look at the deserted lakes and id sing

C G D Em
and every once in a while id sing a song for you
C G D Em
that would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
C ( strum only once ) Em
and if i wanted it to , it would lead you back to me

chorus
( strum only once all )
C G D Em
and the lions roar , the lions roar
C G D Em
is something that i have heard before
C G D Em
a childrens tale , the lonesome wail
Em G D Em
of a liiiiions roar

Em G D Em
Em G D Em
