Ivory Road King Charles
IVORY ROAD - KING CHARLES
You're the [G]nose on my bullet
The trigger on my gun
You're the [B]sandbank in the ocean
Oxygen in my blood
You're the [C]fastest of the fish
You're the prickliest pear
You're a [G]chameleon in the night
You're the sahara's sun glare
[G]You're my mind's rest
You're the strings on my guitar
You're the [Am]wax in my moustache
The keys to my car
You're the [D]magical mermaid's hollowed illusion
You cool them, fool them
And they hope so much
And you [G]let them down
And you watch from your rock
And your heart beats fast as you watch their's stop
[G]I will keep on loving
'Cos I believe in love
I [Am]don't mind dying
If you follow me up
Your [G]victory's your defeat
Your head above your heart
[Am]Only the brave surrender
[D]Death cannot tear us apart
Interlude: G Am D G
[G]Well my smile is wider
Than your's when we meet
And the [B]winter is colder
For me underneath
And I [C]know that you glow
From the inside out
You can [G]keep it for yourself
And I'll go without
[G]You are the fire and I'm the chimney
You'll burn away and I'll choke on your memory
All the [Am]words, my sense, you're the poet to my pen
You're the dream that brings the morning sadness
[D]Start the day storm in my [G]head
[G]Well you're the Oscar Wilde short stories in my bookcase
You're [Am]positively 4th street isolated in my itunes
You're the [D]word in the dictionary that I can't spell
Can't describe, can't put in a [G]sentence but use all the time
[G]Your own pair of trousers look better on me
The [Am]boots of spanish leather
And the bottom of the sea
Every [D]symbol of love that doesn't relate to a meaning
Every [G]feeling, every sensation
Only real when I'm dreaming
[G]I will keep on loving
'Cos I believe in love
I [Am]don't mind dying
If you follow me up
[G]Your victory's your defeat
Your head above your heart
[Am]Only the brave surrender
[D]Death cannot tear us apart[G]
[G]Well I wish we were animals free of loves games
I [Am]wish we were snails with really big shells
I [D]wish I was a lion, I'd be king of the wild
I'd [G]command all the beasts to carry you when you're tired
[G]I'm the elephant in the circus
Oh, you're my trainer
You'd [Am]never let me go
But if you did I would stay here
In [D]love there is freedom
But it must be returned
There [G]must be sacrifice
Love must be learnt
A [G]donkey, a mule, a lifetime of work
In [Am]death he rests his head from his reins
No burden to bare but work left him lame
And the [D]lion on the mountain chased from his pride
His lioness stolen, his rival survives
G (let ring...)
The sound of his cubs in death are dim
He knows his world well, no pain can defeat him
[G]Wild horses in the [Am]wilderness
Will [D]know no journey [G]home
Well my love is locked in [Am]chains
The [D]lion walks [G]alone
Oh the lion [Am]walks alone
[D]Nature is cruel
But he [G]knows it's his home
[G]He to his demons
And [Am]you to your own
[D]Please let me stand by you
And we'll [G]conquer them all
[G]We will [Am]conquer them all
Oh [D]I will [G]conquer them all (x3)
