[Intro]
D C
I am a prince and I live in a ship and I aim my rifle and I shoot from the hip
Em Am
And I have a friend I pity quite a bit
D C
She said, “Grab your gun, let's have some fun, share with me your perigees
Em Am
I have responsibilities, I cannot run!”
D C
“I do not wish the death of any living thing,
Em Am
I might be a killer but one day I shall be queen
D C
and put an end to slaughter, but until then I'm keen
Em Am
on staking claim to land and sea and everyfin between.”
[Chorus 1]
D C
I played a game with eleven fools who told me not to break the rules
Em Am
But when have angels ever helped me yet?
D C
And magic isn't real and anyway it doesn't matter
Em Am
'Cause no matter what I conjure it could not help be me deflect
[Verse 1]
D C
The angry death of every hopeful thought
Em Am
That I might be a lover or a fighter that I’m not
D C
In someone's spider web or net I could be caught
Em Am
But I'm too bitter, better off alone, guess I forgot
[Bridge 1]
D C
So what? Do you want me to say sorry?
Em Am
Should I apologize, when you ignore me?
D C
I didn't ask to be right or to be lonely
Em Am
Or to be hatched into an ugly story
[Chorus 2]
D C
I am a prince and I had a pair of princesses in two sharp squares
Em Am
But then I guess I bored them both to death
D C
And now I think my calling is to break apart and fall to pieces
Em Am
Better yet invent a brand new method of ascension
[Verse 2]
D C
I'm impressed, you've managed to survive
Em Am
But rest assured we'd all be better off dead than alive
D C
'Cause when they get a hold of us we'll all be batter fried
Em Am
And I'm surprised that nobody's considered switching sides
[Chorus 3]
D C
So here I am, respectfully and royally destroying
Em Am
Any chance of getting back on your good gills
D C
And I don't want to be hurtful but if yellows the new purple
Em Am
Well then bleeding's the new breathing, don't you think I will!
[Verse 3]
D C
I used to wish the death of every living thing
Em Am
I might be your killer but you'd never be my queen
D C
So put away your laughter, pack up your hopes and dreams
Em Am
I'm done with black back-handing and red pandering, it seems
[Hook]
D C
That I am just pathetic, I won't be overlooked
Em Am
I'm past the point of fishing to get back upon your hook
D C
I've made a manifesto, I've been bested by a crook, but never more!
Em Am
I'm planning on reclaiming what he took...
[Outro]
D C
So what? do you want me to say sorry?
Em Am
Should I apologize, when you ignore me?
D C
I didn't ask to be right or to be lonely
Em Am
Or to be hatched into an ugly story
Em Am
To be hatched into an ugly story
D C Em Am
Oh my, this pantomime is getting gory
(play the whole pattern once)
D C Em Am
I am a prince and I live in a ship
D C Em Am
I am a prince and I live in a ship
