[Intro]
D C G  x4


[Verse 1]
            D          C     
There was a boy and he thought 
                 G
himself quite special
          D           C           
Somehow important and confidently 
G
able
          D            C      
He didn't care if your face got 
        G
under his foot
           D          C           
As long as he didn't stop to have 
   G
to look


[Instrumental]
D C G  x2


[Verse 2]
         D             C          
He had a chest for the trophies 
         G
that he'd stolen
               D     C            
He shined them every morning on 
  G
his way in
         D          C       
And even he really started to 
    G
believe it
     D             C              
Rationalizing that they were meant
     G
 for him

[Chorus 1]
      C                        D  
But I know that you're not the 
                 G
king of the setting sun
       C                     C
I know what you are and have done
         D                  G     
And that crown you found is gonna 
              Em               C
leave on your head a big green ring
               D                   
You're not the king of the setting 
G
sun
       C                 C
I know what you have not done
           D
And you're gonna burn in hell


[Instrumental]
D C G  x4


[Verse 3]
             D           C        
He sometimes wondered if he was 
   G
just trash
        D      C              G
He felt guilty one day but it passed
          D          C         
And after that he convinced even 
     G
himself
          D         C              
That everyone loved him and no one 
G
else


[Chorus 2]
      C                        D  
But I know that you're not the 
                 G
king of the setting sun
       C                     C
I know what you are and have done
         D                  G     
And that crown you found is gonna 
              Em               C
leave on your head a big green ring
               D                   
You're not the king of the setting 
G
sun
       C                 C
I know what you have not done
           D             G   D/F#
And you're gonna burn in hell


[Bridge]
Em         Am                 D 
  Thinking back you smiled at 
                  G  D/F#
how you'd come this far
Em            Am         D      
  And how the idiots had bought 
          G        D/F#     Em
into what you told them you are
         Am               D       
Now hold really still and hope 
             G  D/F#
that they don't see
Em            A            D
  That you're one big vacancy


[Instrumental]

[Chorus 3]
      C                        D  
But I know that you're not the 
                 G
king of the setting sun
       C                     C
I know what you are and have done
         D                  G     
And that crown you found is gonna 
              Em               C
leave on your head a big green ring
               D                   
You're not the king of the setting 
G
sun

I know what you have not done

And you're gonna burn in hell
