[Intro] B

      D
Every night
        D7M
When we say goodbye
            C
I know that I can't
                Em
See myself as a man
                   D
When I put on that suit
                D7M
I don't have to stay mute
                  C
I can talk all the time
                       Em
'Cause my shoulders are wide

[Parte 1]

        D                F#m           E
And I'm falling like the leaves on Leningrad
              D               F#m          E
I follow your footprints when I can't hold your hand
              D               A               E
My darling, believe me, I was born to be with you
             D           A            E
But it'll be me that the world will answer to

[Chorus]

    B          Eb
And just for a second
         G#m       G
I can be one of the greats
     B              Eb
I'll be Caesar on a TV screen
G#m         G
Champion of my fate
B          Eb
No one can tell me to stop
          G#m          A
I'll have everything I want
 G#m               E            B
Anyone and everyone will like me then
     E            B
Everyone will like me then

[Bridge]

             D
When I was a child
                  D7M
I never felt like a child
               C
I felt like an emperor
               Em
With a city to burn
               D
I got down on my knees
                   D7M
Begged the man in the trees
              C
To give me an answer
               Em
Je ne veux pas penser

[Parte 2]

         D               F#m         E
And it's raining like it did on Leningrad
               D             F#m         E
My lover would like to buy a flat in Leningrad
                 D                 A             E
And I'd trade my tongue in just to hear him every night
              D             A              E
To talk about Red Scare and how they got it right

[Chorus]

    B          Eb
And just for a second
         G#m       G
I can be one of the greats
     B              Eb
I'll be Caesar on a TV screen
G#m         G
Champion of my fate
B          Eb
No one can tell me to stop
          G#m          A
I'll have everything I want
 G#m               E            B
Anyone and everyone will like me then
     E
Everyone will love me

[Outro] B  Eb  G#m  G
        B  Eb  G#m  G
        B  Eb  G#m  G
