[Intro]
Cmaj7        Bm7
Can you hear the church
 bell ring?
G              Em
Here he comes, it's the
 king of kings

[Chorus]
Cmaj7        Bm7
Can you hear the
church bell ring?
G              Em
Here he comes, it's
the king of kings

Cmaj7            Bm7
His hotel burns, made
of ash and strings
G                      Em
He's got all he wants, and
 lost everything

[Post-Chorus]
Cmaj7        Bm7
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
G              Em
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Cmaj7        Bm7
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
G              Em
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh

[Verse]
Cmaj7
Tell me how to stop,
 I wanna get off,
Nervous when
I talk about it
         Bm7
See, I'm strugglin'
 with thoughts,
 What I used to love,
Losin' patience and
 the passion
        G
Used to think about
my younger self,
Before I had
the wealth, Back when
we got donations
       Em
Just a kid feelin'
what he felt, Dealin'
with the issues that
he manifested
          Cmaj7
Triеd his best with
what he got, But he got
lost in what hе's not
               Bm7
No, he's not a singer and
 he doesn't talk,
He just got caught
 in a sub-plot
                  G
Soon the shot was over,
 turned into a loner,
Started losin' power
in his own songs
              Em
He was just a poser,
losin' his composure,
Lookin' for the closure
that he never got

Can you hear the
 church bell ring?
G              Em
Here he comes, it's
the king of kings

Cmaj7            Bm7

[Outro]
Cmaj7
Everything about this life
Bm7
Don't feel the same as
                  G
your Hazel eyes alone
                     Em
I would rather be at home
    Cmaj7
And I could laugh,
and I could try
    Bm7
and live this life
         G
for a thousand times
  Em
I know, I would
rather be at home
