I play the riff twice as an intro but he repeats it throughout the song


[Verse 1]

 A4                                                                          
I'm a cigarette rolling 
         Em
down an empty road in
     G           Dsus2
the night like a shooting star  
  A4                                                                  
I'm a midnight train 
             Em
keeping you awake when
   G         Dsus2
I come home from the bar

 A4                                                                
I'm a photograph taken
Em
in the past but
  G               Dsus2
it wasn't what you thought                  
A4                                                           
Well, you look for hours but
Em
you don't know how
G                  Dsus2
all you found was it was gone

        
[Chorus]

A4               
Make me no king
Em                
Give me no crown
G               
Make me no king
A4                 Em                        
I will only let you down

         
[Verse 2]

A4                                                                     
I'm a light at the end of
Em
the tunnel when you
G                 Dsus2
think you made it through
A4                                                                                    
Like a ship in the night when
Em
you've seen the light I'm
G                   Dsus2
the rock that's its wrecking you

A4                                                       
Well I never mean to
Em
have to leave
G                Dsus2
never meant to sing this song
A4                                           
Like a goose in a winter 
Em
or a hell-bent sinner
G                 Dsus2                         
I was born to move along

        
[Chorus]

A4               
Make me no king
Em                
Give me no crown
G               
Make me no king
A4               Em      
I will only let you down

A4               
Make me no king
Em                
Give me no crown
G               
Make me no king
A4               Em      
I will only let you down
