Am Am                  Em Em
Heavy and hard is the heart of a king
Am Am Em Em
King of iron, king of steel
Am Am Em Em
The heart of a king loves everything
Am Am D D Am Am
Like the hammer loves the nail

C C D D
But the heart of a man is a simple one
C C D D
Small and soft, flesh and blood
C C D D
And all that it loves is a woman
C C D D
A A woman is all that it loves

C C D D
And Hades is king of the scythe and the sword
C C D D
He covers the world in the color of rust
C C D D
He scrapes the sky and scars the earth
C C D D
And he comes down heavy and hard on us

C C D D
But even the hardest of hearts unhardened
C C D D
Suddenly, when he saw her there
C C D D
Persephone in her mother's garden
C C D D
The sun on her shoulders, the wind in her hair

C C D D
The smell of the flowers she held in her hand
C C D D
And the pollen that fell from her fingertips
C C D D
And suddenly Hades was only a man
C C D D
With the taste of nectar upon his lips, singing

Em Em D D Em Em
La la la la la la la
Em Em D D E E
La la la la la la la
Em Em D D Em Em
La la la la la la la
Em Em D D
La la la la la la (3x)


# Break in the song

Am Am Em Em
And what has become of the heart of that man?
Am Am Em Em
Now that the man is king?
Am Am Em Em
What has become of the heart of that man?
Am Am D D Am Am
Now that he has everything

C C D D
The more he has, the more he holds
C C D D
The greater the weight of the world on his shoulders
C C D D
See how he labors beneath that load
C C D D
Afraid to look up, and afraid to let go

C C D D
And he keeps his head low, and he keeps his back bending
C C D D
He's grown so afraid that he'll lose what he owns
C C D D
But what he doesn't know is that what he's defending
C C D D
Is already gone

Am Am D D
Where is the treasure inside of your chest?
Am Am D D
Where is your pleasure? Where is your youth?
Am Am Em Em
Where is the man with his hat in his hands
C C
Who stands in the garden with nothing to lose, singing

C C D D Em Em
La la la la la la la
C C D D E E
La la la la la la la
Em Em D D Em Em
La la la la la la la
C C D D E E
La la la la la la
