Intro: EmGDEm
Verse:
EmGDEm
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
EmGEm
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
EmGDEm
The fact that theyʼd been blindly deceived by those who preach and pray and teach
EmGEm
But she falls short and the night explodes with laughter
EmGDEm
Don’t you come here and say I didn’t warn you
EmGEm
About the way your world can alter
EmGDEm
And oh, how you try to command it all, still
EmGEm
Every single time it all shifts one way or another
Chorus:
CGDEm
And I’m a goddamn coward, but then again so are you
CGDEm
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar
CGDEm
As we evaded and hollering for you
CGDEm
And I never really knew, what to do
EmGDEm
Verse:
EmGDEm
Now I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable
EmGEm
That I could read you just like a book
EmGDEm
For now I can only guess what’s coming next
EmGD
By examining your timid smile
EmGDEm
And the ways that the old, old wind, blowin’ you back around
Chorus:
CGDEm
And I’m a goddamn fool, but then again so are you
CGDEm
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar
CGDEm
Has me singing out and searching for you
CGDEm
And I never really knew, what to do

Bridge:
A7CEm
Sometimes I wish I could find my rose mary hill
A7CEm
I sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I’d sing
CGDEm
And every once in a while I’d sing a song for you
CGDEm
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
CEm
And if I wanted it to, it would lead you back to me
Chorus:
CGDEm
And the lion’s roar, the lion’s roar
CGDEm
Is something that I have heard before
CGDEm
a children’s tale, the lonesome wail
EmGDEm
of a liiiiion’s roar
