A reporter in a jailroom, whispering her source to a dying bulb
G 
While the prince is in a fable, peaceful in his cradle, 
Am              G         F
convinced of the impossible:
          Dm             G                 C         
All those wicked words I used to build my wild Western

I was just following the rules. Yeah, I did what I had to

carpool, is playing a familiar role:
          Dm              G                   C 
I used to be a conquering king. I watched the slow stars 
        F
shoot & swing.
         Dm                    G            C

       F
anything.
           Dm                     G
So now its later than it needs to be
              Em              Am G
And while his stranger family sleeps

The king looks for his castle,

There's a myth we must've made
           C             Am
One we're spreading every day
         F              G
In every dying dream we grieve
           C        G         Am
The humming hole we fight & feed

It's the loving lives we long for
G
Heaven bound & glory be

pacing so his pulse won't slow.
              Dm                G                   C  
He drums his legs and pulls his hair; he carves her dimples 
       F
in the air.
           Dm                    G              C
The raging world has spooked him scared, and he don't want 
             F
her lost out there.
            Dm             C       G
So now it's later than it needs to be

Against everything he believes
