Capo 5

[Intro]
G C (x4)

[Verse 1]
G                 C                        G               C
Somewhere dark before the sun comes up
                 C         C/B Am7                 G
Where the blinds are closed and the doors are shut
   Em                                              G
I reduce you to the rubble in the bottom of my cup
        D                                                 G
'Til I cannot tell the poison from the pain

[Verse 2]
G                  C                               G                          C
Somewhere, dawn, the stores are closed out by the beach
             C        C/B           Am7                             Riff 1
I could spray paint your name, no one would see
    Em                                              G
I reduce you to the poison in the bottom of my cup
         D                                                Riff 1
'Til it washes all my worries out to sea

[Chorus]
              Em                 D                       G
And my demons, that got so bored of dreamin'
      Em            D                 G
My demons, alcohol and freedom
    Em
A King without a Queen
                            D          G
A King without a kingdom

[Verse 3]
G            C                G     C
I was so bad on my own
              C         C/B          Am7                           G
Drawing maps inside my soul to places where nobody goes
          Em                                              G
Woke up confused, just staring at my telephone
             D                                                  Riff 1
Waiting like I'd ever hear your voice again

[Verse 4]
G              C          G      C
I feel that empty low
      C           C/B       Am7                G
Sometimes it is so jagged, I don't know what love is for
Em                                            G
Alone like I don't know how to survive and insane
         D                                                G
'Til I cannot tell the poison from the pain

[Verse 5]
G             C                              G     C
I used to think that you were me
    C              C/B     Am7                       G
Pretending every sentence from your mouth was melody
    Em                                               G
A tune so turbulent that it cracked open every key
      D                                            Riff 2
'Til everything was broken that I played

[Verse 6]
G                 C               G        C
Your father stood and cried
            C              C/B       Am7                    G
On the day your brother married someone that he could rely on
      Em                                                   G
No one could heal his heart, whoever made you cry
     D                                                  Riff 1
So I became the poison and the pain

[Chorus]
              Em                  D                      G
And my demons, they got so bored of dreamin'
Em           D                  G
Demons, alcohol and freedom
    Em
A King without a Queen
                            D           G
A King without a kingdom
    Em
A King without a Queen
                            D           G
A King without a kingdom

[Outro]
