Kings by Tam Duong
Really not sure about the first line of the bridge, but this is mostly what it sounds like :)
C#m A B
C#m A E
Verse 1
C#m
Cement and steel frames
A B
Don’t mean too much to me
C#m A B
For nothing ever rivals the sound of sweet melody
C#m
I’d trade it all for music
A B
Business meetings for a stage
C#m
A fountain pen for a mic in hand
A E
Yes, that seems fair to me
Refrain 1
G#m F#m
The freedom to make love and music
G#m A7
That’s the freedom of a king
C#m A B C#m A E
Verse 2
C#m
What's worth the fight
A B
Bright ideas just a dead-end streetlight
C#m A B
What's born innate, left idle never sits right
C#m A B
I found it when I was 16, lied to myself till I was 19
C#m A E
Didn’t want to wake at 50 and ask; what have I done?
Refrain 2
G#m F#m
The freedom to make love and music
G#m A7
That’s the freedom of a king
Chorus 1
C#m E
Dreams are what you chase
B A
Dreams are what you keep safe
C#m E
Seems they're the first to break
B A
When you shouldn’t have waited
C#m E B A
Do what you love, for love is what leads to happiness
C#m E B E
And that’s all we really want in the end
C#m A B C#m A E
Verse 3
C#m
The day will come
A B
When my son will ask me
C#m
If he can chase his pipe dream
A B
A throne of his own
C#m A B
And I’ll fear for him like all good parents do,
C#m
But tell him it’s not up to me
A E
It’s up to you
Refrain 3
G#m F#m
The freedom to make love and music
G#m A7
That’s the freedom of a king
Chorus 2
C#m E
Dreams are what you chase
B A
Dreams are what you keep safe
C#m E
Seems they're the first to break
B A
When you shouldn’t have waited
C#m E B A
Do what you love, for love is what leads to happiness
C#m E B E
And that’s all we really want in the end
Bridge
G#m B
I might be crazy, but I’m strumming
C#m B A
My fate may seem insane
C#m B A7
But I won't sign my life away
B
Oh no
C#m E A E F#m G#m X3
Outro
C#m E
I arrived on a sailing ship
A E
From a land not far from here
F#m G#m
My father was the king and I was born
A E
To carry on his legacy
C#m E
My father said that one day his kingdom
A E
Would all be mine to keep
F#m G#m
But I declined with an innocent smile
N. C. E
Because I know it’s not my dream
