INTRO: Bm D G A

Starin’ off into space
Smokin’ more than I should
Stayin’ out of the race
Hidin’ from the neighborhood

Lookin’ out thru the cracks
Catchin’ glimpses of life
I touch the past when I look back
Like it’s the edge of a knife

Playin’ to a crowd of one
As I cuss my demons out
For the things that I have done
To put my future in doubt

Feelin’ poison eat me up
‘Fore I knew that lady luck
Could turn stark ravin’ mad

CHORUS:
And I’d give anything for twenty years ago
And what I know today about sayin’ no
I’d give anything for twenty [D/C#]years ago
I’d never live the dreams that made this nightmare grow

INTRO

Hardly leavin’ this place
Once a month for the news
That I shouldn’t have much faith
And my bill is overdue

The phone rings every now and then
But I never pick it up
I don’t wanna talk to old friends
Who are up on their luck

CHORUS

SOLO (chorus chords)

CHORUS

I’d never the live the dreams that made this nightmare grow

CAPO III

INTRO: Em F# G A D C G D

All the lies that you told
The soul that you sold
The dreams that you’ve killed
The love that you spilled
Are the things that you’ll find
When you’re searchin’ your mind
When you [G/F#]build your own prison
You gotta do your own time

When you feel all the shame
You got no one to blame
When you’re out hangin’ ‘round
You’re friends can’t be found
‘Cause they’re all doin’ fine
Since you left them behind
When you build your own prison
You gotta do your own

BRIDGE:
You got bars full of memories
To help you pass the time
When you [G/F#]build your own prison
You gotta do your own time

SOLO (VERSE chords)

BRIDGE

When you build your own prison
All you’ve got is the time

INTRO: G Em G Em

There’s a lot of warriors out on the road
Stories have been told and untold
Partly courage, partly fear and doubt
I’ve been there and I know what I’m talkin’ about

Climbin’ hills and fallin’ over rocks
Bein’ put in boxes, breakin’ off the locks
Eatin’ dirt while lookin’ for gold
That’s just life for kings of the road

CHORUS:
At the end of the day, when it’s all [G/F#]said and done
You gotta ask yourself if the hell out[G/F#]weighs the fun
When you can’t find a way to get up [G/F#]off the ground
Just remember every king wears a crown

BREAK: G Em G Em C Am C D G

Racin’ against a clock that you can’t see
Wonderin’ where the final stop will be
Always lookin’ forward for the past
While standin’ in the shadow that it cast

BRIDGE:
The warriors seem to have a common theme
They know that they’re the kings of their own dreams

CHORUS:
At the end of the day, when it’s all said and done
You gotta ask yourself if the hell outweights the fun
When you’re wipin’ off the blood every time they kick you down
Just remember every king wears a crown

Just remember every king wears a crown

INTRO: C F G

The light is gettin’ dimmer
They say that happens when you go
My chances are slimmer
Than they were a week ago
I’m not sure what to call it
Some people say it’s called gone
I don’t know how I’ll get there
But I know I’m goin’ home

CHORUS:
Goin’ home, I’m goin’ home
I don’t need no car to drive
I don’t need no telephone
Goin’ home, I’m goin’ home
I’m not sure what it looks like
But I know I’m goin’ home

BREAK: F G

I always figured Heaven
Might have a little touch of Hell
‘Cause this side of the river
Always looks out on farewell
Leavin’s never pleasant
Especially when you go alone
Unless you’ve got a roadmap
In your soul that leads back home

CHORUS

SOLO: F G C F G
