King Crimson is a progressive rock group from London, England, United Kingdom formed in 1968 by guitarist Robert Fripp and drummer Michael Giles. Though originally an all-British musical group, later members have included a number of Americans, most notably Adrian Belew, and Tony Levin. The name "King Crimson" was coined by Peter Sinfield as a synonym for Beelzebub, prince of demons.

[Intro]
| Am Em/A | Dm Dm6 | Am Em/A | Dm Dm6 |
[Verse 1]
Am Em/A
If I only could deceive you
Dm Dm6
Forgetting the game
Am Em/A
Every time I try to leave you
Dm Dm6
You laugh just the same
Dm Dm6 Am
'Cause my wheels never touch the road
Dm Dm6 Am
And the jumble of lies we told
Dm Dm6 C Bm7b5
Just returns to my back to weigh me down
[Verse 2]
Am Em/A
We lay cards upon the table
Dm Dm6
The backs of our hands
Am Em/A
And I swear I like your people
Dm Dm6
The boys in the band
Dm Dm6 Am
Reminiscences gone astray
Dm Dm6 Am
Coming back to enjoy the fray
Dm Dm6 C B7sus4 E B7sus4
In a tangle of night and daylight sounds

[Verse 3]
Am Em/A
All completeness in the morning
Dm Dm6
Asleep on your side
Am Em/A
I'll be waking up the crewmen
Dm Dm6
Banana-boat ride
Dm Dm6 Am
She responds like a limousine
Dm Dm6 Am
Brought alive on the silent screen
Dm Dm6 C Bm7b5
To the shuddering breath of yesterday
[Verse 4]
Am Em/A
It's a battle for the needy
Dm Dm6
Incredible scenes
Am Em/A
There's a future to believe in
Dm Dm6
Your life and death dreams
Dm Dm6 Am
As the cavalry of despair
Dm Dm6 Am
Takes a stand in the lady's hair
Dm Dm6 C B7sus4 E B7sus4
For the favour of making sweet sixteen
