D D+ Em Ddim (Ddim: 120101)
I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
D G A Bm
called the blood of the exploited working class
G - Gm -
but they've overcome their shyness - now they're calling me 'your Highness'
D / Bm G / A D A
and a world screams: Kiss me, Son of God
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
D / Bm G / A D B7
and a world screams: Kiss me, Son of God
Em A(+m9) D - (A+m9: 002320)
I look like Jesus, so they say
Em A(+m9) D -
but Mr Jesus is very far away
F# - Bm -
now you're the only one here who can tell me if it's true
G - - A
that you love me and I love 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'
D / Bm G / A D B7
and a world screams: Kiss me, Son of God
G - / A D -
yes the world screams: Kiss me, Son of God
-E.M.
