Verse 1
Am
I'm a prince and I live in a ship
Dsus2
And I aim my rifle and I shoot from the hip
C E
And I have a friend I pity quite a bit
Am
She said "grab your gun let's have some fun"
Dsus2
"Share with me your perigees"
C E
"I have responsibilities, I cannot run"
Chorus 1
Am Dsus2
I do not wish the death of any living thing
C E
I might be a killer but one day I shall be queen
Am Dsus2
And put an end to slaughter, but until then I'm keen
C E
On staking claim to land and sea and everything between
Verse 2
Am
I played a game with eleven fools
Dsus2
Who told me not to break the rules
C E
But when have angels ever helped me yet?
Am
And magic isn't real
Dsus2
and anyway it doesn't matter
C E
'Cause no matter what I conjure, it could not help be me deflect
Chorus 2
Am Dsus2
The angry death of every hopeful thought
C E
That I might be a lover or a fighter that I'm not
Am Dsus2
In someone's spider web or net I could be caught
C E
But I'm too bitter, better off alone, guess I forgot

C Am
So what? Do you want me to say, sorry?
Dsus2 C Am
Should I apologize when you ignore me?
C Am
I didn't ask to be right or to be lonely
Dsus2 C Am
Or to be hatched into an ugly story
Verse 3
Am Dsus2
I'm a prince and I had a pair of princesses in two sharp squares
C E
But then I guess I bored them both to death
Am Dsus2
And now I think my calling is to break apart and fall to pieces
C E
Better yet invent a brand new method of ascension
Chorus 3
Am Dsus2
I'm impressed, you've managed to survive
C E
But rest assured we'd all be better off dead than alive
Am Dsus2
'Cause when they get ahold of us we'll all be batter fried
C E
And I'm surprised that nobody's considered switching sides
Verse 4
Am Dsus2
So here I am, respectfully and royally destroying
C E
Any chance of getting back on your good gills
Am Dsus2
And I don't mean to be hurtful but if yellow's the new purple
C E
Well then bleeding's the new breathing, don't you think I will
Chorus 4
Am Dsus2
I used to wish the death of every living thing
C E
I might be your killer but you'll never be my queen
Am Dsus2
So put away your laughter, pack up your hopes and dreams
C E
I'm done with black back-handing and red pandering, it seems
(End palm-muting) Am Dsus2
That I am just pathetic, I won't be overlooked
C E
I'm past the point of fishing to get back upon your hook
Am Dsus2
I've made a manifesto, I've been bested by a crook,
C E
But never more I'm planning on reclaiming what he took
Bridge 2
C Am
So what? Do you want me to say, sorry?
Dsus2 C Am
Should I apologize when you ignore me?
C Am
I didn't ask to be right or to be lonely
Dsus2 C Am
Or to be hatched into an ugly story
Dsus2 C Am
To be hatched into an ugly story
Dsus2 C Am
Oh my, this pantomime is getting gory
