We Could Be Kings Lyrics

We Could Be Kings - Dave Hause - Devour
Arranged by Jack Cookson (Torn_Asunder)
Dave tends to play these as powerchords, but sometimes puts in the third.
Either way, it's up to you. If you're a beginner to barre chords,
try transcribing the tab with the tool on the left to G voicings, and stick
a capo on 4th.
So this is rejection
And it's bringing you down
He told you that he'd find work soon
Then he stopped coming around
That was the summer of sweet nights
He used to take you for rides
But it all changed in the backseat
He came inside
Well he's seen enough to know
Hes old enough to know whats right from wrong
I know how hard it is to see things through
Oh no did it rip you apart?
To be told we could be kings
When we were damned from the start
Oh no did it rip you apart?
They told us we could be kings
When we were damned, damned from the start
You told him you loved him
But push had come to shove
There were no easy answers
Mixing money and blood
He was too young to know better
And you were unemployed
The sergeant promised a cake walk
But then he got deployed
I've seen enough, enough to know
It's not about which side you're on
I know how hard it is to keep it in
Oh no did it rip you apart?
To be told we could be kings
When we were damned from the start
Oh no did it rip you apart?
They told us we could be kings
When we were damned, damned from the start
We've been living to the left of the dial
Hoping drinks and denial will keep us here
I'm not promising you some bright side
Were trying to break your stride
But you asked me, you asked me
He was gone in an instant
They say nobody was spared
Not gonna tell you he loved you
Not gonna tell you he cared
Well I've seen enough, enough to know
Sometimes with the truth you gotta let it go
I know how hard it is to keep it in
I wont going rip you apart
And tell you, you could be king
I don't wanna break your heart
I won't going rip you apart
So open wide and you'll sing
Cause were all damned
Open wide and you'll see
Cause were all damned, damned from the start
Were damned from the start
