Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
Well [Em]don't you know [Am]I need
[Em]a little indul[D]gence?
[Em]Listen to the [Am]hunter be[Em]coming [D]hunted
[Em]Every day [Am]there's
[Em]a million ad[D]vances
[Em]Don't be too force[Am]ful you'll
[Em]ruin your [D]chances
Well don't [Em]you know [Bm]that
time is [A]a broken glass
[Am]That[G] splinters against the w[F#m]all?
But the [Em]picture is coming back now, baby
[F#m]And I want to take it all

[Verse 2]
Don't [Bm]go making all these [D]promises
you [Em]know you cannot [D]keep
[Em]There's a time [Am]to play the king
and a time to be a thief
'Cause if you're [Bm]making all these
[D]promises you [Em]know you cannot [D]keep
You [Am]know time will be the thief and
your fallen king will end up [G]alone

[Verse 3]
[G]
So let your body [Am]move [Em]a little bit [D]closer
Silent [Em]like [Am]the sound pro
[Em]ceeding a cyc[D]lone
Don't [Em]you [Am]know that
[Em]powerful [D]thinking
Can [Em]be a f[Am]orce you don't
[Em]want to relin[D]quish?
Well don't [Em]you know that
[Bm]They say that [Am]hanging on
will [G]justify [F#m]the wait?
But [Em]pa tience and elated wisdom
[F#m]don't share a common phrase

[Verse 4]
Don't [Bm]go making all these [D]promises
you [Em]know you cannot [D]keep
There's a [Am]time to play the king
and a time to be a thief
'Cause [G]if [Bm]you're making all these
[D]promises you [Em]know you cannot [D]keep
You [Am]know time will be the thief and
your fallen king will end up [G]alone

[Verse 5]
[C]Well, I'm only hanging
on [D]for what goes down
[C]I'm floating high and my fee[D]t
don't touch the ground
[C]I'd take advantage but I can[D]'t
see through this charade
[Bm]So don't you,
[D]don't go [Em]make it [D]harder than [Am]hell
'Cause when it [Bm]comes
down to the mak[D]ing
You better be [Em]damned sure you [D]can take it
Hey baby
[Am][G][D]

[Verse 6]
[Em]
[Am]Well [A]don[D]'t go [Bm]making all these
[D]promises [Em]you know you cannot [D]keep
There's [Am]a time to play the king
and a time to be a thief
'Cause if [Bm]you're making all these [D]promises
you [Em]know you cannot [D]keep
You know [Am]time will be the thief and your fallen
king will end up [G]alone
[Bm]Well don't go making all these

[Verse 7]
[D]promises
[Em]you know you cannot [D]keep
There's a [Am]time to play the king
and a time to be a thief
'Cause [G]if you're [Bm]making all these
[D]promises you [Em]know you cannot [D]keep
[Am]Time will be the thief and your
fallen king will end up...
[Bm]A fool, [D]a fool, [Em]a lonely sorry fool
[Am]Oh baby, 'cause I told you baby
