From Sight and Sound David Songbook
 
[Intro]
E5        D5        E5        D5
 
D5  E5    D5        E5        D5
 
[Verse]
E2
I never wanted this. I was happiest
E2                                          D2
before they made me something I could never be.
                     D2
I even tried to run, and I tried to hide.
D2                                        E2
But God and Samuel let the people make me king.
                    E2
So I played along, tried to sing their song,
E2                                 D2
but I couldn't ever catch their melody.
 
D2
So many pressures now, and rules to follow now.
D2                                        Em
Am I breaking rules or are they breaking me?
                    Em
So, I spared a king to love my enemy,
                       Em
but there is never any mercy for me.
E
I made a sacrifice, paid a heavy price
                                       C           A
Only to have You take Your spirit from me.
 
[Verse 2]
 
E2
Just a shepherd boy out of Bethlehem,
E2
Then I helped you be a giant killer.
D2
Gave you my daughter's hand, I gave your father land,
D2                                         Em
But you are set on taking everything from me.
                          Em
You sang your song to me, a soothing melody.
Em
I didn't know some day you would betray me.
E
You were a son to me, but now my enemy.
                                          C             A7
You only loved me 'cause you wanted to be king!
 
Em             Emaj7            C5               C               A
 
[Chorus]
 
       E5                  E5/D
I will take what I have to take,
        Bm7                  Cmaj7
Make mistakes that I have to make
       E5             D5
Put my enemies in the ground
Bm                   Cmaj7
Anything to keep the crown.
       Em                   E/D
I will steal what I have to steal,
           Bm                 C
and I will kill who I have to kill
         Em             D
I'll put anyone in the ground,
Bm                C                     E5          D5         E5         D5
anything to keep, anything to keep this crown.
 
[Chorus]
 
       E5                  E5/D
I will take what I have to take,
        Bm7                  Cmaj7
Make mistakes that I have to make
        Em             D
Put my enemies in the ground
Bm                   Cmaj7
Anything to keep the crown.
       Em                    E/D
I will steal what I have to steal
           Bm                  C
And I will kill who I have to kill.
          Em            D
I'll put anyone in the ground
Bm                C                     E5
Anything to keep, anything to keep this crown.
