False Kings

A G F# G F#

[Verse 1]
Bm                       A
  Getting lost singing their song
G                      F#   G  D  F#
  Caught up in all I've done
Bm                               A
  It's all I know, but not what I need
G                 F#  G      F#
  Cut by my love, cut till I bleed


[Chorus]
            Bm
So I want to run to your shelter tonight
A
Run to the shelter tonight
G
United in silent resistance
  F#   Em         D
Of bowing to false kings

F#        Bm
So let me run to your shelter tonight
A
Run from this meaningless pantomime
     G
I'll swallow my pride, give up the pretence
  F#     G        F#
Of bowing to false kings


[Verse 2]
Bm                               A
   Bought their smiles, liquid and smooth
G                          F#   D F#
   Took their words for the truth
Bm                 A
   Edge of light and shade
G                F#   G    F#
   My broken soul once more enslaved


[Chorus]
            Bm
So I want to run to your shelter tonight
A
Run to the shelter tonight
G
United in silent resistance
  F#   Em       D
Of bowing to false kings

F#       Bm
So let me run to your shelter tonight
A
Run from this meaningless pantomime
  G
I see the false kings

I see that all this
F#      G
Must end


[Bridge]
F#               Em
  When there's no love in my embrace
     D                     F#
Cold blood runs through my veins
D    G
If I soar without grace
           A
Do I still soar?

D           Em
  I need the love in your embrace
    F#      D        F#
Open doors, brand new ways
       G        Em   G
End my wars and erase
        A
And I'm yours


[Chorus]
F#              G
   So I want to run to your shelter tonight
Bm          A         Bm   F#
Run to the shelter tonight
G
United in silent resistance
  F#      G        F#
Of bowing to false kings

          G                          A
So let me run to your shelter tonight
Bm                             A
Run from this meaningless pantomime
     G                                     D
I'll swallow my pride, give up the pretence


[Outro]
G      F#               Em               D       F# Bm
Yes, I wined and, and I dined on, on that cyanide
