Chords in this song
Strum
D-DU-UDU
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
verse 1 continued
Dont you come here and say I didnt 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
And Im a goddamn coward, but then again so are you
And the lions roar, the lions 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 whats coming next
By examining your timid smile
(STRUM ONLY ONCE)
And the ways that the old, old wind, blowin you back around
And Im a goddamn fool, but then again so are you
And the lions roar, the lions roar
Has me singing out and searching for you
(STRUM ONLY ONCE)
And I never really knew, what to do
(NOT SURE ABOUT THIS PART)
Sometimes I wish I could find my rose mary hill
I sit there and look at the deserted lakes and Id sing
And every once in a while Id 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
(STRUM ONLY ONCE ALL)
And the lions roar, the lions roar
Is something that I have heard before
a childrens tale, the lonesome wail
of a liiiiions roar
the song came out a day or two ago :) i love, love, love first aid kit! sorry if some of
the lyrics are off, but i think this is sort of what it should sound like... thanks!

Now the p[Em]ale morning si[G]ngs of f[D]orgotten th[Em]ings
She plays a t[Em]une for those who w[G]ish to overlo[Em]ok

Every si[Em]ngle time it all shi[G]fts one way or anoth[Em]er
