Verse 1:
E
Midnight, At the school
           C#m
'Hind the bleachers
                    E
There's gonna be a rumble
                   C#m
The lions and the kings
                  A
And my baby, she cries
       F#m          E
In her bed and she worries

And my baby, she prays
                    E  C#m E C#m A F#m E
God save the kings! 


Pre-chorus 1:
A
Promise me you won't do anything crazy
E
I promise you I won't do anyting, baby
A                          B
Promise me, I promise you nothing! 

Chorus 1:
       E/G#     A           E
We're outcasts only cuz we choose to dream
       E/G#        A                  E      B   
We're princes who'd rather dine with thieves
       E/G#   A            E         B     C#m
We're honest only cuz the truth, it cannot hide
     A            F#m     E
God save us, the foolish kings

Verse 2 (as verse 1):
Midnight, At the school
Behind the bleachers (hey baby, lets go lets go)
There's gonna be a rumble,
But the cops won't be notified (whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa)
So the lions bear their arms
But the kings gonna break the hearts
Of their babies tonight

Chorus 2 (as chorus 1):
We're desprate only cuz we've none to lose
We're lions missing half our teeth
We're honest only cuz the truth, it cannot hide
God save us, the foolish kings
God save us, the foolish kings

Others: A, B, C#m/E, B/D#, E, B, A

Tim talks ( F#m, E, B, F#m, E, B ):
"And we fight cuz
We'd rather break our bones
Than brave this loneliness
We draw blood cuz
We're just trying to draw out some significance"

Bridge:
A         F#m         B      B/D#
But I met God on the street tonight
               C#m          A           B 
And he said, "Choose your battles wisely

Or you'll never find Me"

Pre-chorus 2:
A
Promise me you won't do anything crazy
E/G#
Promise me
   A                          B         A  B  E
I promise you, I promise you one thing! 

Chorus 3:
       E/G#   A                 E 
We're devils try'n to earn our angels wings
    E/G#       A           E   B
We stumble at every turn indeed
       E/G#       A    
We're desperate chasing down
      E      B    C#m
the love to just survive
     A            F#m     E
God save us, the foolish kings
(promise me you won't do anything crazy)
     A            F#m     E
God save us, the foolish kings
(promise me, promise me)
     A
God save us, God save us,
    F#m        E   A E B E A E 
the foo-lish kings!
