E
We argue in the kitchen
G#m
about whether to have children

the scale of my ambition

And how much is art really worth
F#m

the thing that hurts the most

like diamond rings
C#m
You need to go to war
to find material to sing
A
I am no mother,
G#m B
I am no bride, I am King
[Chorus]

I need my golden crown of sorrow,
B
my bloody sword to swing
C#m
My empty halls to echo
G#m
with grand self-mythology
A
I am no mother,
B F#m
I am no bride, I am King
A
I am no mother,
B E
I am no bride, I am King

scratching at my skin
