A
Oh doc, I feel as though it's time
To leave before the lights go on
F#7
My soul was cast into the fire
I felt the sound, it burned me twice

A
I saw my life in front of me
I looked upset, it ain't never framed
F#7
Birthdays when nobody came
                           A
Baptisms and an empty lane

Bm                            A
I don't want to be king for a day

A
Oh doc, I know just how you feel
When love arrived and then revealed
F#7
The moutains that stood in my way
No longer did I need to shake

A
When angels come to take us home
I leave you here to man the phones
F#7
And don't hang up if when I call
                                    A
To wish you well from clouds beyond

Bm                            A
I don't want to be king for a day

A F#7 A

Bm                            A
I don't want to be king for a day
Bm                            A
I don't want to be king for a day
