G         Bm             A
  Royal beggars, royal beggars
  A7      E             E7sus4
  Do you, do you, do you wanna...
GM7      Bm             A
  Live forever, live forever
           E    E7sus4
  Alone, alone, alone?
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
         .         F#m
'Cause we're broken
             G               F#m
All hope is dead, but we're coping
          N.C.
Somebody, save our souls...
 
 
[Chorus]
 
 Bm               G               A
Like a bird in a cage, trying to fly away
    A6        E           F#m7    Bm
Is this the price that we have to pay?
                  G             A
Overflowing with rage, yet we still obey
  A7            E           E7      G
'Cause we're asleep in a hurricane
 
 
[Verse 2]
GM7       Bm              A
  Bitter lovers, bitter lovers
           E         E7sus4
  Let go, let go, let go 'cause it's
GM7       Bm             A
  Now or never, now or never
                 E          E7sus4
  Breathe in, breathe out, breathe in...
 
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
              F#m
'Cause we're choking
              G               F#m
And left for dead, but we're coping
          N.C.
Somebody, save our souls...
 
 
[Chorus]
 Bm               G               A
Like a bird in a cage, trying to fly away
              E           F#m7    Bm
Is this the price that we have to pay?
                  G             A
Overflowing with rage, yet we still obey
  A6            E           E7     Bm ~
'Cause we're asleep in a hurricane

G            Bm
  Are you listening?
                      A
  You may not have noticed
            A6
  We have totally lost our way
GM7                     Bm
  Are you lost in the clouds?
                         A
  Or can you hold your focus?
          A6
  It's ourselves that we will betray
G            Bm
  Are you listening?
                     F#m
  You may not have noticed
            A6
  We have totally lost our way
G                       Bm
  Are you lost in the clouds?
                        A
  Or can you hold your focus?
                          A7
  It's ourselves that we will betray...
 
 
[Chorus]
 Bm               G               A
Like a bird in a cage, trying to fly away
              E           F#m7    Bm
Is this the price that we have to pay?
     Bm7          G             A
Overflowing with rage, yet we still obey
  A7            E           E7
'Cause we're asleep in a hurricane
 
 
[Breakdown]
F#m                              G
WE SIT ON A THRONE, WAITING FOR GOD TO BEND THE KNEE
F#m                          N.C.
BUT WE'RE NOTHING MORE THAN ROYAL BEGGARS
 
F#m   G      F#m   G
     YEAH...      ARR OH....
F#m                       G
BUT I'M AS GUILTY AS THE NEXT MAN
F#m                          Gm
OUR EYES ARE OPEN, BUT WE'RE NOT LISTENING...
