D#
Taking over this town, they should worry
But these problems aside
I think I taught you well
               Cm               G#maj7             D#
That we won't run, and we won't run, and we wont' run

And in the winter night sky, ships are sailing
Looking down on these bright blue city lights
And they won't wait, and they won't wait, and they won't wait
We're here to stay, we're here to stay, we're here to stay

Chorus:
G#maj7               D#  A#
Howling ghosts they reappear
   G#maj7              D#            A#
In mountains that are stacked with fear
    G#maj7            D#     A#  Cm
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart
       D#
A lionheart

His crown lit up the way as we moved slowly
Past the wondering eyes of the ones that were left behind
Though far away, though far away, though far away
We're still the same, we're still the same, we're still the same

Chorus:
Howling ghosts, they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart

    G#maj7             D#       A#
And in the sea that's painted black
G#maj7            D#      A#
Creatures lurk below the deck
    G#maj7            D#     A#   Cm
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart
    G#maj7             D#    A#
And as the world comes to an end
G#maj7           D#        A#
I'll be here to hold your hand cause
G#maj7             D#        A#  Cm
You're my king and I'm your lionheart

      G#maj7 D# A#
A lionheart
      G#maj7 D# A#
A lionheart
      G#maj7 D# A#
A lionheart
       Cm
A lionheart
      G#maj7 D# A#
A lionheart
      G#maj7 D# A#
A lionheart
      G#maj7 D# A#
A lionheart
       Cm
A lionheart

Chorus:
Howling ghosts, they reappear
In mountains that are stacked with fear
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart

And in the sea that's painted black
Creatures lurk below the deck
But you're a king and I'm a lionheart
A lionheart
A lionheart
A lionheart
A lionheart
A lionheart
A lionheart
A lionheart
A lionheart
