Capo 2
F#7: xx4320
Oh doc, I feel as though it's time
To leave before the lights go on
My soul was cast into the fire
I felt the sound, it burned me twice
I saw my life in front of me
I looked upset, it ain't never framed
Birthdays when nobody came
Baptisms and an empty lane
I don't want to be king for a day
Oh doc, I know just how you feel
When love arrived and then revealed
The moutains that stood in my way
No longer did I need to shake
When angels come to take us home
I leave you here to man the phones
And don't hang up if when I call
To wish you well from clouds beyond
I don't want to be king for a day
I don't want to be king for a day
I don't want to be king for a day
