Song

All the chords are pretty simple, but there are a lot of changes so sorry
if this is really messy & confusing.
When i say, for example, Em x4, i mean four bars of Em.
Email me (phab_as_phook@hotmail.com) if you have any corrections!
Em x4
Am x4
Em x4
 
I've got a little secret for ya
G x4
Cmaj7 x4
 
Even now there's something to be proud about
You come up the hard way
And they remind you every day
You're nothing  
Oh my words in your mouth are mumbled all about
You're like a journalist
You can cut and paste and twist
Em x4 Am x4 Em x4
You're awful
Tell it to your king
Go and tell him everything you know 
Tell him you know how I feel
Tell him you know how i feel
At the palace gates
I'm all levered of my face
And I just can't work out what it's all about 
I see snakes in eyes
Bm Am G x4 C
And danger signs
If you were late you mustn't dare complain
And you wont like this at all
Bm Am Em x4 Am x4 Em x4
There's nothing to break your fall
Oh tell it to your king
Bm Am G x4
Tell him everything you know
And you know how I feel out of place
Until I've levered of my face
And I can work out what you're on about
Didn't they explain
Bm Am G x4
you have to play the game
G x4 Cmaj7 x4 D D/C G/B Am G x4
Johnny drinks and smokes his cares away,
his heart is in the lonely way,
living in the ruins
of a castle built on sand
