Bm Bm E E D D Gb Gb (x2)

Bm Bm E E

I am a prince and I live in a ship and I aim my rifle and I shoot from the hip

D D Gb Gb

and I have a friend I pity quite a bit

Bm Bm Gb Gb E E

she said “grab your gun, let’s have some fun, share with me your perigees

Bm Bm E E

I have responsibilities, I cannot run!”

Gb Gb D D Em Em D D

“I do not wish the death of any living thing, I might be a killer but one day I shall be queen

Bm Bm

and put an end to slaughter, but until then

G G D D C C

I’m keen on staking claim to land and sea and everyfin between.”

B B D D

I played a game with eleven fools who told me not to break the rules

C C G G

but when have angels ever helped me yet?

E E Bm Bm

and magic isn’t real and anyway it doesn’t matter

G G C C

cause no matter what I conjure it could not help be me deflect

Em Em D D

the angry death of every hopeful thought

C C G G

that I might be a lover or a fighter that I’m not

D D Gb Gb C C

in someones spider web or net I could be caught

G G D D (one strum)

but I’m too bitter, better off alone, guess I forgot

Em Em D D (one strum)

So what? Do you want me to say sorry?

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G G (one strum)

should I apologize, when you ignore me?

Em Em D D (one strum)

I didn’t ask to be right or to be lonely

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G G (one strum)

or to be hatched into an ugly story

E E Bm Bm

I am a prince and I had a pair of princesses in two sharp squares

C C G G

but then I guess I bored them both to death

Em Em D D

And now I think my calling is to break apart and fall to pieces

C C G G D D

better yet invent a brand new method of ascension

Em Em C C

I’m impressed, you’ve managed to survive

G G D D

but rest assured we’d all be better off dead than alive

E E G G C C

cause when they get a-hold of us we’ll all be batter fried

G G D D

and I’m surprised that nobody’s considered switching sides

Em Em Bm Bm

So here I am, respectfully and royally destroying

C C G G

any chance of getting back on your good gills

E E D D

And I don’t want to be hurtful but if yellows the new purple

C C G G

well then bleeding’s the new breathing, don’t you think I will!

D D Em Em C C

I used to wish the death of every living thing

D D G G

I might be your killer but you’d never be my queen

D D E E Bm Bm

so put away your laughter, pack up your hopes and dreams

C C G G

I’m done with black back-handing and red pandering, it seems

D D G G Em Em

That I am just pathetic, I won’t be overlooked

D D C C

I’m past the point of fishing to get back upon your hook

D D Em Em C C

I’ve made a manifesto, I’ve been bested by a crook, but never more!

G G D D

I’m planning on reclaiming what he took…

Em Em D D (one strum)

So what? do you want me to say sorry?

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G G (one strum)

should I apologize, when you ignore me?

Em Em D D (one strum)

I didn’t ask to be right or to be lonely

C C Cmaj7 Cmaj7 G G (one strum)

or to be hatched into an ugly story

Em Em D D (one strum)

to be hatched into an ugly story

E E D D B B (one strum)

Oh my, this pantomime is getting gory

Bm Bm E E D D Gb Gb (x2)


Bm Bm E E

I am a prince and I live in a ship

D D Gb Gb


Bm Bm E E

I am a prince and I live in a ship

D D Gb Gb B B

ok somehow this song is nearly impossible to find the right chords for but i think i found a tune that sounds similar enough. the verse chords are Dm, Gm, F, A. The bridge/chorus thing is F, A7, Gm/Bb (either chord works), A, Dm. hopefully this sounds good for anyone else looking to play the song.
