Heaven Bound and Glory Be Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[D]A reporter in a jail room,
whispering her source to a [G]dying bulb
While [A]the prince is in a fable, peaceful in his cradle,
convinced [Bm]of t[A]he i[G]m po[A]ssible:
[Em]All those wicked words I [A]used to
build [D]my wild Western [G]truth!
[A]I was just f[Em]ollowing the r[A]ules. Yeah,
I did [D]what I had [G]to do.
[A]So now its [Em]later than [D]it needs to [A]be
And in the dul[F#m]cet tones
[Bm]of dream[A]
The prince [G]atop his chariot,
[A]Heaven bound & glory [D]be.

[Verse 2]
[D]
A mother in a market chases after
children that [G]she barely knows
While [A]the father on the barstool, dropped off by
his carpool, is play[Bm]ing a fa[A]miliar r[G]ole:
I [D]used [Em]to be a conquering [A]king. I watched
the slow [D]stars shoot [G]& swing.
[A]When I'd [Em]wake, the world [A]would sing. Now,
I [D]can't hear [G]anything.
So [E]now its [Em]later than it [D]needs [A]to be
And while his [F#m]stranger
family sleep[Bm]s[A]
The [G]king looks for his castle,
[A]Heaven bound & glory [D]be.
There's a [G]myth we must've

[Verse 3]
[D]made
One [F#m]we're spreading every [G]day
In every [Bm]dying [Em]dream [A]we grieve
The humming [F#m]hole we fight &[Bm] feed
[A]It's the lov[G]ing lives we long for[A]
Heaven bound & glory be
[D]A

[Verse 4]
man in a hotel room,
tangled to his teeth by [G]the telephone
He's [A]waiting on a woman,
wondering what she's doing,
And [Bm]pacing so his [A]pulse [G]won't slow.
He [Bm]drums his [Em]legs and pulls [A]his hair;
he carves her [D]dimples in the air[G].
The [A]ra ging [Em]world has spooked [A]him scared,
and he [D]don't want her lost out [G]there.
So [A]now it's [Em]later than it
[D]needs [A]to be
And though his [F#m]aching
eyes [Bm]want sleep
[A]Against all rat[Em]ional [D]ity[A]
Against [F#m]everything he [A]be [Bm]lieves[A]
He [G]prays for her protection,
[A]Hea[Bm]ven b[E]ou[G]nd[A]
& glory [D]be.[A][Bm][A]
I [G]pray for your protection,
[A]Heaven bound & glory [D]be.
[A][D]
