[Verse 1]
Eb Abm
There's no way
Abdim Eb
I'm coming back to you
Eb Abm
I just stopped to say
Abdim Eb
That everything we did is through
Eb Abm
You tried to undermine
Abdim Eb
The better ranges of my nature
Eb Abm
But soon you're going to find
Abdim Eb
You should have started talking straighter
[Pre-Chorus]
Gbm Gdim
Now don't you worry
Ab7 A
I won't put you down
Gbm Gdim
I'm in no hurry, babe
Ab7 A
To see you go to ground
[Chorus]
Gbm7 Gdim
Because it's true what they say
Ab7 A
You know, it's true what they say
Gbm7 Gdim
You're only king for a day
Ab7 A
I hope you're happy that way
[Verse 2]
Eb Abm
There's no hope
Abdim Eb
For peace and reconciliation
Eb Abm
You're quick to play your hand
Abdim Eb
But what you haven't learnt is patience
Eb Abm
So look before you leap
Abdim Eb
To tell the world your coloured story
Eb Abm
It's clear your talk is cheap
Abdim Eb
Do anything to get your glories
[Pre-Chorus]
Gbm Gdim
So spread your wings and fly
Ab7 A
There is no doubt
Gbm Gdim
You're so sure inside, you've got something to
Ab7 A
Shout about
[Chorus]
Gbm7 Gdim
Because it's true what they say
Ab7 A
You know, it's true what they say
Gbm7 Gdim
You're only king for a day
Ab7 A
I guess you're happy that way
[Verse 3]
Eb Abm
And there's no love
Abdim Eb
Ever to be lost between us
Eb Abm
I guess this is because
Abdim Eb
The damage you've done is so grievous
Eb Abm
So I hang my head
Abdim Eb
To dwell on what might have been
Eb Abm
But what you left instead
Abdim Eb
Pieces of a broken dream
[Pre-Chorus]
Gbm Gdim
Now don't you worry
Ab7 A
I won't put you down
Gbm Gdim
I'm in no hurry, babe
Ab7 A
To see you go to ground

Because it's true what they say

You know, it's true what they say

[Outro]
Eb Abm
Don't you see that
Abdim Eb
You're only king for a day
Eb Abm
You must believe that...
