The Sphinx Chords

Lyrics & chords

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

[Verse 1]
I [Am]wish I could
be like the king
Who said to his [C]people: my friends
This is now the end
If we loose the battle
We shall live forever[G].
The people of the [Dm]sun will
remember this day
And give us [Am]immortality
Long after I've [G]gone
Long after the sun[Am].

[Verse 2]
[Am]I want to be like this king
But I can't stand [C]the pain
My friends
And I keep looking for all the faces I had
Before the world [G]began.
I've only know de[Dm]sire and
my poor soul will burn
Into eternal [Am]fire
And I can't [G]even cry
A sphinx can never cry.
[Am]

[Verse 3]
I am standing in [F]the sun
I wish that I could be
A silent sphinx etern[C]ally.
[F]I don't want any past
Only want things which cannot [C]last
And I can't [Em]even cry[G]
Through God knows how I [Am]try[G]
A sphinx can never [F]cry[Em]
And sphinxes never die.
[Am]

[Verse 4]
I'm famous or am I infamous ?
It doesn't matter [C]much any more
Phony words of love or
painfully truth
I've heard it all be[G]fore
Appraisal [Dm]or critics and even politics

[Verse 5]
[Dm]A conversation pie[Am]ce
A woman or a priest
[G]

[Verse 6]
It's all a point [Am]of view.

[Outro 1]
I am standing in the sun
[F][C][F]
[C][Em][G][Am][G]
[F][Em][Am]
