Poetic Justice

Verse 1
E|--------| 

 Am      Am7             F
So I was not the one you wanted
 Am                  F
You can see I'm reconciled
 Dm      Dm/C      Gsus      G
Must you be so disappointed
 Dm         Dm/C        Gsus  G
Can you not carry on in style
      Am          G/B           C
Is it too much to say we loved hard
          F                 C
'Til the world fell back in place
     C                Gsus G
And left us where we are

Chorus 1
E|--------|- 

  C              G             
I feel like the king when the 
G/B           Am
queen loses faith
         Am7         F            
And the crowd rushes in to tear 
        C
down the gate
           C             G        
While the whole palace slept and I
  G/B             Am
 never rang the bell
         Am7         F         
Maybe that's poetic justice, but 
                       C
it's pretty hard to tell

Verse 2
E|--------|-

 Am          Am7            
And when the fortune wheel is 
  F
spinning
 Am                     F
Luck is fortune's dirty joke
 Dm    Dm/C               Gsus  G
And a players chance of winning
 Dm    Dm/C          Gsus  G
Is diminished by his hope
          Am            G/B       
Can't you laugh just to think of 
    C
the gold
       F                  C
We had running though our hands
     C            Gsus G
When we were on a roll

Chorus 2
E|--------|- 

  C              G             
I feel like the king when the 
G/B           Am
queen loses faith
         Am7         F            
And the crowd rushes in to tear 
        C
down the gate
       C             G      G/B  
And declare what was mine I stole
              Am
 from someone else
         Am7         F         
Maybe that's poetic justice, but 
                       C
it's pretty hard to tell

Bridge
E|--------|- 

             E             Am 
It's hard to tell why the solid 
            Am7               F
ground surprised us when we fell
             C                 
It's hard to say, it's life and 
 E
death
           Am            Am7      
Or just so many bitter words 
         F
beneath your breath

Chorus 1
E|--------|- 

  C              G             
I feel like the king when the 
G/B           Am
queen loses faith
         Am7         F            
And the crowd rushes in to tear 
        C
down the gate
           C             G        
While the whole palace slept and I
  G/B             Am
 never rang the bell
         Am7         F         
Maybe that's poetic justice, but 
                       C
it's pretty hard to tell

Chorus 3
E|--------|- 

C               G             
I feel like the king when the 
G/B         Am
queen loses hope
               Am7   F            
And the crowd rushes in to raise 
           C
the gallows pole
       C                   G       
And declare what they must do, I'm 
E            Am
doing to myself
        Am7           F           
Well if that's poetic justice, how
              C
 can anybody tell?
