Kings and queens    (video)

 

   Am          Dm                       G                     C

If all of the kings had their queens on the throne,

                   F            Dm             E        Am

we would pop champagne and raise a toast,

     Am           Dm                   G            C

to all of the queens who are fighting alone,

             F             Dm        E          Am

baby, you're not dancing on your own.

 

                          Am                 Dm                    G             C

1. Can't live without me, you wanna, but you can't, nah-nah-nah,

                    F               Dm                    Em                       Am

    think it's funny, but, honey, can't run this show on your own.

 

   Am                  Dm                           G                 C

2. I can feel my body shake, there's only so much I can take,

              F                    Dm                 Em       - Am

    I'll show you how a real queen behaves.

 

          Am       Dm                G                            C 

    Oh oh, no damsel in distress, don't need to save me,

F        Dm                       Em                 Am

    once I start breathing fire, you can't tame me.

Am      Dm                             G                       C

    And you might think I'm weak without a sword,

F       Dm                 Em                       Am

    but if I had one, it'd be bigger than yours.

 

+  CHORUS

 

             Am                Dm          G                   C

3. Disobey me, then baby, it's off with your head,

                    F                  Dm         Em                       Am

    gonna change it and make it a world you won't forget.

 

          Am       Dm                G                            C 

    Oh oh, no damsel in distress, don't need to save me,

F        Dm                       Em                 Am

    once I start breathing fire, you can't tame me.

Am      Dm                             G                       C

    And you might think I'm weak without a sword,

F                 Dm               Em               Am

    but I'm stronger than I ever was before.

 

   Am          Dm                       G                     C

If all of the kings had their queens on the throne,

                   F            Dm             E        Am

we would pop champagne and raise a toast,

     Am           Dm                   G            C

to all of the queens who are fighting alone,

             F             Dm        E          Am

baby, you're not dancing on your own.

C                                                   G

    but queens are free to go wherever they like.

Bb                                                 F

    You get too close, you'll get a royalty high,

C                                            E

    so breathe it in to feel the life.
