Am C G Am


Am C G Am
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
Am C Am
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
Am C G Am
The fact that they've been blindly deceived by those who preach and pray and teach
Am C Am
But she falls short and the night explodes in laughter


Am C G Am
But don't you come here and say I didn't warn you
Am C Am
About the way your world can alter
Am C G Am
And oh how you try to command it all still
Am C Am
Every single time it all shifts one way or the other


F C G Am
And I'm a goddamn coward, but then again so are you
F C G Am
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
F C G Am
Has me evading and hollering for you
F C G Am
And I never really knew what to do


Am C G Am


Am C G Am
Well I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable
Am C Am
That I could read you just like a book
Am C G Am
For now I can only guess what's coming next
Am C G
By examining your timid smile
Am C G Am
And the ways of the old, old winds blowing you back 'round


F C G Am
And I'm a goddamn fool, but then again so are you
F C G Am
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
F C G Am
Has me seeking out and searching for you
F C G Am
And I never really knew what to do


Am C G Am x 2


D F Am
Sometimes I wish I could find my Rosemary Hill
D F Am
I'd sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I'd sing
F C G Am
And every once in a while I'd sing a song for you
F C G Am
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
F Am
And if I wanted it to it would lead you back to me


F C G Am
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
F C G Am
Is something that I have heard before
F C G Am
A children's tale, the lonesome wail
F C G Am
Of a lion's roar


Am C G Am x 3
