Capo on 5th
Intro
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
The fact that they d been blindly to see by those who preach and pray and teach
But she falls short and the night explodes with laughter
Donât you come here and say I didnât warn you
About the way your world can alter
And oh, how you try to command it all, still
Every single time it all shifts one way or another
Chorus
And Iâm a goddamn coward, but then again so are you
And the lionâs roar, the lionâs roar
As we evaded and hollering for you
(STRUM ONLY ONCE)
And I never really knew, what to do
Now I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable
That I could read you just like a book
For now I can only guess whatâs coming next
By examining your timid smile
(STRUM ONLY ONCE)
And the ways that the old, old wind, blowinâ you back around
Chorus
And Iâm a goddamn fool, but then again so are you
And the lionâs roar, the lionâs roar
Has me singing out and searching for you
(STRUM ONLY ONCE)
And I never really knew, what to do
Sometimes I wish I could find my rose mary hill
I sit there and look at the deserted lakes and Iâd sing
And every once in a while Iâd sing a song for you
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
(STRUM ONLY ONCE)
And if I wanted it to, it would lead you back to me
Chorus
(STRUM ONLY ONCE ALL)
And the lionâs roar, the lionâs roar
Is something that I have heard before
a childrenâs tale, the lonesome wail
of a liiiiionâs roar
