Am Dm E7 Am
Am Dm E7 Am
[Verse 1]
Am Dm
I err, aimless in falling towns,
E7 Am
looking to trade some time for a way to get around.
Am Dm E7
I hold fast to my paper crown as the howl of the wind it blows it all to hell.
[Chorus]
Am Dm
I am the king of the ancient town,
E7
I am the reign of the young,
Am
And I have been told I'm the only one.
Dm E7
But I am, no I am not
Am Dm E7
I am, no I am not
Am Dm E7
Well, I am, no I am not
Am E7 Am
I am, I am, I am.
Dm E7
[Verse 2]
Am Dm
I am the fault of the clerics pen. I am the joke without, within.
E7 Am
I am the call for righteous living. I am the spawn of a drunken vision.
Am Dm
I am the hope that drives the dread out of the slums for miles ahead.
E7 Am
I am the ad that sold the mould. I am the billboard for the soul.
[Chorus]
Am Dm
I am the king of the ancient town,
E7
I am the reign of the young,
Am
And I have been told I'm the only one.
Dm E7
But I am, no I am not
Am Dm E7
I am, no I am not
Am Dm E7
Well, I am, no I am not
Am E7 Am
I am, I am, I am.

Am Dm E7
[Verse 3]
Am Dm
I was produced by old machines, rusted and worn by centuries.
E7 Am
I was entoiled by sullied laws, and now I am caught between its jaws.
Am Dm
I am the scar of my descent, destined to be the same again.
E7 Am
I am the circle viciously complete and closed like history.
[Chorus]
Am Dm
I am the king of the ancient town,
E7
I am the reign of the young,
Am
And I have been told I'm the only one.
Dm E7
But I am, no I am not
Am Dm E7
I am, no I am not
Am Dm E7
Well, I am, no I am not
Am E7 Am
I am, I am, I am.
Dm E7
I am, I am.
