           F   C    G               F C   G
I built a wall in China. I sank an ocean liner
              A#                   F                  G
I've wrecked homes, I've burned thrones, chasing the crown
           F    C        G               F    C         G
I've put thorns in your feet. I spread plague in the streets
             A#              F                  G
I've sprung traps, confused maps, chasing the crown

Chorus:
             C7
Chasing the crown 'til he bites the apple
I was licking my lips 'til the sun come down
                  G      C                      G
I'm chasing the crown, crown, I'm chasing the crown
              C7
I'm taking a turn in the right direction
By leaving his soul in the lost and found
                  G   F                  C
I'm chasing the crown, I'm chasing the crown

I saw the tea float in Boston, I saw the live wire shock 'em
I made them float, I made them drown, chasing them 'round
I laid the desert sands, I froze the polar caps
Well, they'd dry out, and I'd shout "Hey, I'm chasing the crown"

Chorus - x2

I built a wall in China, I sank an ocean liner
I've wrecked homes, I've burned thrones, chasing the crown
I've put thorns in your feet, I spread plague in the streets
I've sprung traps, I've confused maps, chasing the crown
I saw the tea float in Boston, I saw the live wire shock 'em
Made them float, made them drown, chasing them 'round

I built a wall, I built a wall in China
I'm chasing the crown
