Verse 1
We [C] argue in the kitchen about [Em] whether to have children
About the [Am] world ending and the scale of my ambition
And [F] how much is art really worth [Em]
The very thing you're [Dm] best at is the thing that hurts the most
But you [C] need your rotten heart
Your dazzling [Em] pain like diamond rings
You [Am] need to go to war to find material to sing
I am no [F] mother, I am no [Em] bride, I am [G] King
Chorus
I need my [F] golden crown of sorrow, my [G] bloody sword to swing
My [Am] empty halls to echo with grand [Em] self-mythology
I am no [F] mother, I am no [G] bride, I am [Dm] King
I am no [F] mother, I am no [G] bride, I am [C] King
Verse 2
But a woman is a changeling, [Em] always shifting shape
Just when you [Am] think you have it figured out, something new begins to take
What [F] strangе claws are these, [Em] scratching at my skin
I [Dm] nеver knew my killer would be coming from within
I am no [C] mother, I am no [Em] bride, I am [Am] King
I am no [C] mother, I am no [Em] bride, I am [G] King
Chorus
I need my [F] golden crown of sorrow, my [G] bloody sword to swing
My [Am] empty halls to echo with grand [Em] self-mythology
I am no [F] mother, I am no [G] bride, I am [Dm] King
I am no [F] mother, I am no [G] bride, I am [Dm] King
I am no [F] mother, I am no [G] bride, I am [Am] King
I am no [F] mother, I am no [G] bride, I am [C] King
Bridge

Outro
And I was [C] never as good as I always [Em] thought I was
But I [Am] knew how to dress it up
I was never [F] satisfied, it [Em] never let me go
Just [Dm] dragged me by my hair and [G] back on with the [C] show
[Em] [Am] [F] [Em] [Dm] [C]
