[Verse 1]
---------------------
A#sus2
     King of shadows
Cadd11
       King of shades
A#sus2                Cadd11
Hades was king of the Underworld
Oh, it's about me?
Go on...
A#sus2                          Cadd11
     But he fell in love with a beautiful lady
    A#sus2
Who walked up above
       Cadd11
In her mother's green field
A#sus2            Cadd11
     He fell in love     with Persephone
A#sus2                 Cadd11
     Who was gathering flowers in the light of the sun
A#sus2          Cadd11
     And I know how    it was because
            A#sus2
He was like me   
  Cadd11
A man    in love with a woman

[Chorus (1)]
---------------------
        A#sus2     Cadd11      Dm
Singing la   la la la     la la la 
A#sus2     Cadd11      D
La   la la la     la la la
Where'd you get that melody?
A#sus2     Cadd11      Dm
La   la la la     la la la 
Let him finish, Hades
A#sus2     Cadd11
La   la la la     la la

[Verse 2]
---------------------
A#sus2
     And you didn't know how
Cadd11
       And you didn't know why
A#sus2                               Cadd11
     But you knew that you wanted to take   her home
A#sus2                    Cadd11
     You saw her alone there,    against the sky
A#sus2                       Cadd11
     It was like she was someone    you'd always known
A#sus2                                Cadd11
     It was like you were holding the world  when you held her
A#sus2                                 Cadd11
     Like yours were the arms that the whole  world was in
A#sus2                               Cadd11
     And there were no words for the way    that you felt
A#sus2                       Cadd11
     So you opened your mouth       and you started to sing:

[Chorus (2)]
---------------------
A#sus2     Cadd11      Dm
La   la la la     la la la 
A#sus2     Cadd11      D
La   la la la     la la la
A#sus2     Cadd11      Dm
La   la la la     la la la 
A#sus2     Cadd11
La   la la la     la la...
A#sus2     Cadd11      Dm
La   la la la     la la la 
A#sus2     Cadd11      D
La   la la la     la la la
A#sus2     Cadd11      Dm
La   la la la     la la la 
A#sus2     Cadd11
La   la la la     la la...

[Bridge]
---------------------
A#sus2 | Cadd11 | Dm     | A#sus2 | Cadd11 | D      
A#sus2 | Cadd11 | Dm     | A#sus2 | Cadd11 | A#sus2 | Cadd11 
A#sus2 | Cadd11 | A#sus2 | Cadd11 | A#sus2 | Cadd11 
Gm                           F
   And what has become of the heart of that man
Gm/A#                F
     Now that the man is king?
Gm                       F
   What has become of the heart of that man
Gm/A#               Cadd11
     Now that he has       everything?

[Verse 3]
---------------------
Cadd11                A#sus2           Cadd11
       The more he has,     the more he holds  
                A#sus2
The greater the weight of the world on his shoulders
Cadd11        A#sus2
       See how he   labors beneath that load
Cadd11                  A#sus2
       Afraid to look up,     and afraid to let go
      Cadd11                 Cadd11
So he keeps  his head low, he keeps  his back bending
A#sus2                               Cadd11
     He's grown so afraid that he'll lose   what he owns
A#sus2                           Cadd11
     But what he doesn't know is that   what he's defending
A#sus2          Cadd11
     Is already gone   

[Verse 4]
---------------------
A#sus2                       Cadd11
     Where is the treasure inside   of your chest?
A#sus2                      Cadd11
     Where is your pleasure?       Where is your youth?
A#sus2               Cadd11
     Where is the man       with his arms outstretched?
A#sus2
     To the woman he loves
Cadd11
       With nothing to lose

[Outro]
---------------------
        A#sus2     Cadd11      Dm
Singing la   la la la     la la la...
A#sus2     Cadd11      D
La   la la la     la la la...
A#sus2     Cadd11      Dm
La   la la la     la la la...
A#sus2     Cadd11
La   la la la     la la...
