E G [Verse 1] G D G There'a a little black spot on the sun today C G It's the same old thing as yesterday G There's a black hat caught in a high treetop C G There's a flagpole rag and the wind won't stop [Chorus] G I have stood here before inside the pouring rain G With the world turning circles running round my brain C G C G I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign D G E But it's my destiny to be the king of pain [Verse 2] G There's a fossil trapped in a high cliff wall (that's my soul up there) C G There's a dead salmon frozen in a waterfall (that's my soul up there) G There's a blue whale beached by a spring tide's ebb (that's my soul up there) G C G There's a butterfly trapped in a spider's web (that's my soul up there) [Chorus] G I have stood here before inside the pouring rain G With the world turning circles running round my brain C I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign G D G E But it's my destiny to be the king of pain [Bridge] G There's a king on a throne with his eyes torn out G There's a blind man looking for a shadow of doubt G There's a rich man sleeping on a golden bed G C D G E There's a skeleton choking on a crust of bread [Verse 3] G There's a red fox torn by a huntsman's pack (that's my soul up there) G There's a black winged gull with a broken back (that's my soul up there) G There's a little black spot on the sun today G C G It's the same old thing as yesterday [Chorus] G I have stood here before inside the pouring rain G D G With the world turning circles running round my brain C I guess I'm always hoping that you'll end this reign G D G E But it's my destiny to be the king of pain [Outro] G I'll always be king of pain, I'll always be king of pain G I'll always be king of pain
