intro: C

C                                 
A reporter in a jailroom, 
                   F
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     
All those wicked words I used to 
            C
build my wild Western
F
truth
      Dm                 G    
I was just following the rules. 
          C
Yeah, I did what I had to
F
do.
           Dm            C         G
So now its later than it needs to be
           Em               Am G
And in the dulcet tones of dream
    F
The prince atop his chariot,
G
Heaven bound & glory be.

C                                 
A mother in a market chases after 
                  F
children that she barely knows
G
While the father on the barstool, 
dropped off by his
            Am        G        F
carpool, is playing a familiar role:
          Dm              G       
I used to be a conquering king. I 
            C
watched the slow stars

        F
shoot & swing.
         Dm                    G  
When I'd wake, the world would 
          C
sing. Now, I can't hear

       F
anything.
           Dm                     G
So now its later than it needs to be
              Em              Am G
And while his stranger family sleeps
F
The king looks for his castle,
G
Heaven bound & glory be.


F                         C
There's a myth we must've made
           Em             F
One we're spreading every day
         Dm              G
In every dying dream we grieve
            Em              Am    G
The humming hole we fight & feed
F
It's the loving lives we long for
G                    C
Heaven bound & glory be


C
A man in a hotel room, tangled to 
his teeth by the
F
telephone
G
He's waiting on a woman, wondering 
what she's doing, and
Am            G           F
pacing so his pulse won't slow.
              Dm               
He drums his legs and pulls his 
 G                   C
hair; he carves her dimples
       F
in the air.
           Dm                   
The raging world has spooked him 
 G              C
scared, and he don't want
             F
her lost out there.
            Dm             C       
So now it's later than it needs to 
G
be
                Em             
And though his aching eyes want 
 Am G
sleep
            Dm        C   G
Against all rationality
        Em               Am   G
Against everything he believes
F
He prays for her protection,
G                    Am  Dsus2/F#
Heaven bound & glory be.
F
He prays for her protection,
G                             C

C/B  Am  G
