Broken Crown

Mumford & Sons


Tom: F

Am       Em        Am
Touch my mouth and hold my tongue
Am         Em       Am
I'll never be your chosen one
         F   Em              Am
I'll be home safe and tucked away   
          F
Well you can't tempt me
   Em              Am
If I don't see the day   

    Am         Em        Am
The pull on my flesh was just too strong
  Am        Em         Am
Stifled the choice and the air in my lungs
        F     Em                 Am
Better not to breath to breath a lie  
             F       Em              Am
Cause when I open my body I breath a lie   

Am         F    Am   Em Am  G   Am
I will not speak of         our sin  
Am         F    Am    Em Am  G   Am
There was a way out          for him  
Am         F   Am   Em Am   G   Am
The mirror shows                not 
Am          F  Am  Em Am   G  Am
Your values are           all short

    Am    G  Am    G    Am    G  Am      C      F
But oh    my heart was flawed I  knew    my weakness
   Am   G   Am   G  Am  G  Am   C      F
So hold my hand consign me not  to darkness

Am          Em              Am
Crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
Am         Em               Am
I'll never wear your broken crown
           F        Em            Am
I took the rope and fucked it all away 
     F            Em                Am
This twilight how dare you speak of grace   

Am          Em              Am
Crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
Am         Em               Am
I'll never wear your broken crown
           F        Em            Am
I took the rope and fucked it all away 
     F            Em                Am
This twilight how dare you speak of grace   

Am           Em             Am
Crawl on my belly until the sun goes down
Am         Em               Am
I'll never wear your broken crown
           F        Em             Am
I took the rope and fucked it all away   
          F           Em            Am
In his twilight are choices seal our fate
