Bm                                       E

I am a prince and I live in a ship and I aim my rifle and I shoot from the hip

      D                    Gb

and I have a friend I pity quite a bit 

          Bm                                  Gb                 E

she said “grab your gun, let’s have some fun, share with me your perigees 

  Bm                      E

I have responsibilities, I cannot run!”

                   Gb                  D                  Em                            D

“I do not wish the death of any living thing, I might be a killer but one day I shall be queen

and put an end to slaughter, but until then

    G                        D                         C

 I’m keen on staking claim to land and sea and everyfin between.”

I played a game with eleven fools who told me not to break the rules 

    C                               G

but when have angels ever helped me yet? 

    E                      Bm

and magic isn’t real and anyway it doesn’t matter 

         G                              C

cause no matter what I conjure it could not help be me deflect

          Em                     D

the angry death of every hopeful thought 

                  C                           G

that I might be a lover or a fighter that I’m not 

D                  Gb                    C

in someones spider web or net I could be caught 
 
                     G                        D (one strum)

but I’m too bitter, better off alone, guess I forgot

   Em                      D (one strum)

So what? Do you want me to say sorry? 

       C   Cmaj7               G (one strum)

should I apologize, when you ignore me? 

  Em                              D (one strum)

I didn’t ask to be right or to be lonely 

   C             Cmaj7          G (one strum)

or to be hatched into an ugly story

E                                Bm                    

I am a prince and I had a pair of princesses in two sharp squares 

    C                              G

but then I guess I bored them both to death 

    Em                          D

And now I think my calling is to break apart and fall to pieces 

C                             G            D

better yet invent a brand new method of ascension

    Em                             C

I’m impressed, you’ve managed to survive 

                        G                           D

but rest assured we’d all be better off dead than alive 

E                      G                               C

cause when they get a-hold of us we’ll all be batter fried 

                         G                            D

and I’m surprised that nobody’s considered switching sides

    Em                        Bm

So here I am, respectfully and royally destroying 

    C                                   G

any chance of getting back on your good gills 

      E                               D

And I don’t want to be hurtful but if yellows the new purple 

          C                                      G

well then bleeding’s the new breathing, don’t you think I will!

D                  Em                    C

I used to wish the death of every living thing 

                D                            G

I might be your killer but you’d never be my queen 

D                E                               Bm

so put away your laughter, pack up your hopes and dreams 

                         C                             G

I’m done with black back-handing and red pandering, it seems

D              G                       Em

That I am just pathetic, I won’t be overlooked 

                      D                             C

I’m past the point of fishing to get back upon your hook 

D               Em                          C

I’ve made a manifesto, I’ve been bested by a crook, but never more! 

    G                              D

I’m planning on reclaiming what he took…

   Em                       D (one strum)

So what? do you want me to say sorry? 

  C             Cmaj7          G (one strum)

should I apologize, when you ignore me? 

   Em                      D (one strum)

I didn’t ask to be right or to be lonely 

  C             Cmaj7          G (one strum)
