Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[C][G]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 1]
Now the [Am]pale morning [C]sings
of [G]forgotten [Am]things
She plays a tune for those who [C]wish
to over[Am]look
The fact that [Am]they've been blind[C]ly deceived
By [G]those who preach, and [Am]pray, and teach
But she falls short and the [C]night
explodes in [Am]laughter
[Am][Am]

[Verse 2]
Don't you [Am]come here and [C]say
I [G]didn't warn [Am]you
About the way your [C]world can [Am]alter
And [Am]oh how you t[C]ry to comm[G]and it all s[Am]till
Every single time it all [C]shifts one way
or the [Am]other

[Chorus 1]
And I'm a [F]goddamn [C]coward,
but then a[G]gain so are [Am]you
And the [F]lion's [C]roar, the [G]lion's [Am]roar
Has me e[F]vading and [C]holler[G]ing for [Am]you
And [F]I never r[C]eally k[G]new what to

[Interlude 1]
[Am](do)[Am][Am][Am]
[C][G]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Verse 3]
Now I [Am]guess some[C]times I wish you were
a [G]little more pre[Am]dictable
That I could read you [C]just like a [Am]book
For [Am]now I can [C]only guess
[G]what's coming [Am]next
By examining [C]your [G]timid smile
And the [Am]ways of the [C]old, old [G]winds
blowing you back
a[Am]round[Am][Am][Am]

[Chorus 2]
And I'm a [F]goddamn [C]fool,
but then a[G]gain so are [Am]you
And the [F]lion's [C]roar, the [G]lion's [Am]roar
Has [F]me singing out and [C]search[G]ing for [Am]you
And [F]I never r[C]eally k[G]new what to

[Interlude 2]
[Am](do)[Am][Am][Am]
[C][G]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[C][G]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

[Bridge 1]
[D]Sometimes I wish
I [F]could find my Rose[Am]mary Hill
I'd [D]sit there and look
at [F]the deserted lakes and I'd [Am]sing
And every [F]once in a [C]while
I'd [G]sing a song for [Am]you
That would [F]rise above the [C]mountains
and the [G]stars and the [Am]sea
And if I [F]wanted it to,
it would lead you back to
[Am]me[Am][Am][Am]

[Chorus 3]
And the [F]lion's [C]roar, the [G]lion's [Am]roar
Is [F]something that [C]I have h[G]eard bef[Am]ore
A [F]children's [C]tale, the [G]lonesome [Am]wail
[F]of a [C]lion's [G]roa[Am]r

[Interlude 3]
[Drum fill]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[C][G]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[C][G]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]
[C][G]
[Am]
