This is a brilliant song and one of my favourites from the new album, along with
Days Are Numbered and Resurrect The Sun. This is a first attempt, so the ending's
a bit shaky, and corrections are very welcome, but it sounds pretty good to me.
Capo 1
[Verse]
Am G
I ruled the world
F E Am
With these hands, I shook the heavens to the ground
G F E
I laid the gods to rest
Am G
I held the key
F E Am
To the kingdom lions, guarding castle walls
G F
Hail the king of death
[Chorus]
G Am F
Then I lost it all, dead and broken
G Am F
My back's against the wall
Cut me open
G Am
I'm just trying to breathe, just trying to figure it out
F
Because I built these walls to watch them crumbling down.
G Am F
I said, then I lost it all
Am
Who can save me now?
[Verse]
Am G
I stood above
F E Am
Another war, another jewel upon the crown
G F E
I was the fear of man
Am G
But I was blind
F E Am
I couldn't see the world there right in front of me
G F
But now, I can.
E G
Yeah
[Chorus]
G Am F
Cause I lost it all, dead and broken
G Am F
My back's against the wall
Cut me open
G Am
I'm just trying to breathe, just trying to figure it out
F
Because I built these walls to watch them crumbling down.
G Am F
I said, then I lost it all
Am
Who can save me now?
Am C F (4x)
C G Dm F C
I believe that we all fall down sometimes
G Dm F
Woah oh oh oh
C G Dm F C
Can't you see that we all fall down sometimes?
G Dm F
Woah oh oh oh (repeat however many times)
C G Dm F C
I believe that we all fall down sometimes
G Dm F C
Yeah
