East

Em C G
i set out to rule the world
with only a paper shield and a 
wooden sword.
no mountain dare stand in my way,
even the oceans tremble in my wake.

the tide is brave, but always 
retreats.
even the sand, it cowers under my 
feet.
my kingdom towers above it all,
while i sleep safe and sound in my 
cardboard walls.

Chorus
             Am       Em          
now i bear little resemblance to 
     G      C
the king i once was.
Am      Em             C        
i bear little resemblance to the
       G
 king i could become.
Am      Em             G        
maybe paper is paper, maybe kids
       C
 will be kids
Am       Em                C    
Lord, i want to remember how to 
       G
feel like i did.

Verse 2
Em C G
so i draw my sword with the morning 
sun,
i summon the moon as soon as the day
 is done.
the clouds march on, on my command.
even the rain, it falls according to
 plan.
the trees bow down and give their 
leaves.
i humbly accept their offerings of 
peace.
