D D+ Em Ddim (Ddim: 120101)
I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
called the bl[D]ood of the expl[G]oited working cl[A]ass[Bm]
but they've [G]overcome their sh[-]yness - now they're c[Gm]alling me 'your Hi[-]ghness'
and a wo[D]rld [/]scr[Bm]eams: Ki[G]ss m[/]e, S[A]on of G[D]od[A]
I destroyed the bond of friendship and respect
between the only people left who'd even look me in the eye
now I laugh and make a fortune off the same ones that I tortured
and a wo[D]rld [/]scr[Bm]eams: Ki[G]ss m[/]e, S[A]on of G[D]od[B7]
Em A(+m9) D - (A+m9: 002320)
I look like Jesus, so they say
but Mr [Em]Jesus is[A(+m9)] very far aw[D]ay[-]
now you're the [F#]only one he[-]re who can t[Bm]ell me if it's tru[-]e
that y[G]ou love m[-]e and [-]I love [A]me
I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
called the blood of the exploited working class
but they've overcome their shyness - now they're calling me 'your Highness'
and a wo[D]rld [/]scr[Bm]eams: Ki[G]ss m[/]e, S[A]on of G[D]od[B7]
yes the wo[G]rld screams: K[-]iss m[/]e, S[A]on of G[D]od[-]
