Am Dm C
Verse :
F Am Dm C
When I've been ditched
F Am Dm C
I kissed the ground
F Am Dm C
And here in the dirt
F Am Dm C
I'm the king of the town
F Am Dm C
I feel so black
F Am Dm C
Burnt by the sun
F Am Dm C
The ancient ones
F Am Dm C
Well I'm their son
Chorus :
G (all down strums)
You should wipe that sodding smile
Am
Off your face
C
Keep it low
F
Just in case
Dm Am
There some pleasure in disgrace
G
I just wanna be erased
F Am Dm C (Intro)
Just in case
Verse :
F Am Dm C
That grey twilight
F Am Dm C
That doesn't know victory
F Am Dm C
or defeat
F Am Dm C
it makes me sick
F Am Dm C
And it's been a while
F Am Dm C
Since I saw your smile
F Am Dm C
Half breed going wild
F Am Dm C
Another lost prince dies

G (all down strums)
You should wipe that sodding smile

Off your face

Keep it low
