Lyrics

Tak ing o ver this town, they should wor ry.

But these prob lems a side, I think I taught you well

that we won’t run, we won’t run, we won’t run.

And in the win ter night sky, ships are sail ing,

past the look ing down on these bright blue cit y lights.

And they won’t wait, though they won’t wait, though they won’t wait.

We’re here to stay, we’re here to stay, we’re here to stay.

(Ab)Howl ing ghosts, they (Eb)re ap (Bb)pear in (Ab)moun tains that are (Eb)stacked with (Bb)fear.

But (Ab)you’re a king and (Eb)I’m a (Bb)li on (Cm)heart,

a li on (Eb)heart.

His crown lit up the way as we moved slow ly

past the won der ing of the ones that were left be

Though far a way, though far a way, though far a way,

we’re still the same, we’re still the same, we’re still the same.

(Ab)Howl ing ghosts, they (Eb)re ap (Bb)pear in (Ab)moun tains that are (Eb)stacked with (Bb)fear.

But (Ab)you’re a king and (Eb)I’m a (Bb)li on (Cm)heart,

a li on (Eb)heart.

His (Cm)heart.

And (Ab)in the sea that’s (Bb)paint ed black, in (Ab)crea tures lurk be (Eb)low the (Bb)deck.

But (Ab)you’re a king and (Eb)I’m a (Bb)li on (Cm)heart.

And (Ab)as the world comes (Eb)to an (Bb)end, (Ab)I’ll be here to (Eb)hold your hand, because (Ab)you’re my king and (Eb)I’m your (Bb)li on (Cm)heart,

a li on (Abmaj7)heart,

a (Bb)li on (Abmaj7)heart,

a (Bb)li on (Abmaj7)heart,

a (Bb)li on (Cm7)heart,

a li on (Abmaj7)heart,

a (Bb)li on (Abmaj7)heart,

a (Bb)li on (Abmaj7)heart,

a (Bb)li on (Cm)heart.
