Am Am7/G Fmaj7add9
So I was not the one you wanted
Am Am/G Fmaj7add9
You can see I'm reconciled
Dm Dm/C Gsus G
Must you be so disappointed
Dm Dm/C Gsus G
Can you not carry on in style
Am G/B C
Is it too much to say we loved hard
Fmaj7add9 C
'Til the world fell back in place
C Gsus G
And left us where we are
1st CHORUS
C G G/B Am
I feel like the king when the queen loses faith
Am7/G Fmaj7add9 C
And the crowd rushes in to tear down the gate
C G G/B Am
While the whole palace slept and I never rang the bell
Am7/G Fmaj7add9 C
Maybe that's poetic justice, but it's pretty hard to tell
And when the fortune wheel is spinning
Luck is fortune's dirty joke
And a player's chance of winning
Is diminished by his hope
Can't you laugh just to think of the gold
We had running through our hands
When we were on a roll
Poetic Justice - (Tom Kimmel and Buddy Mondlock) pg. 2
2nd CHORUS
I feel like the king when the queen loses faith
And the crowd rushes in to tear down the gate
And declare what was mine I stole from someone else
Maybe that's poetic justice but it's pretty hard to tell
BRIDGE
E/G# Am Am7/G Fmaj7add9
It's hard to tell why the solid ground surprised us when we fell
C E/G#
It's hard to say, it's life and death
Am Am7/G Fmaj7add9
Or just so many bitter words beneath your breath
(1st CHORUS)
3rd CHORUS
C G G/B Am
I feel like the king when the queen loses hope
Am 7/G Fmaj7add9 C
And the crowd rushes in to raise the gallows pole
C G E/G# Am
And declare what they must do I'm doing to myself
Am7/G Fmaj7add9 C
Well if that's poetic justice how can anybody tell?
