G
I'm fresh out of regret
C
Smoked my last cigarette

Down to the very end like it was a cure

My head's turned upside down

Smile like a party clown

Can't get this coffee down
A
It's colder than cold

I don't want to go on about it

But how the hell can I live without it

I can see for miles around

Oh for crying out loud

Every face in the crowd

Oh, was looking at us

Sweet amazing grace

Everytime every space

Everything in it's place

(Verse)
I threw this window pane
There's no one left to blame
But then it's all the same as long as she shows that
Face like a beauty queen
Straight from a magazine
Swear that's she's always been the last to know that
(Bridge)
I don't want to go on about it
But how the hell can I live without it
(Chorus)
I can see for miles around
Oh for crying out loud
Every face in the crowd
Was looking at us
Sweet amazing grace
Everytime every space
Everything in it's place
Like I was King for a day
C G D
Na na na na na na na na na na na
King for a day
C G D
Na na na na na na na Like I was king for a day
(Quiet Chorus)
I can see for miles around
Oh for crying out loud
Every face in the crowd
Was looking at us
Sweet amazing grace
Everytime every space
Everything in it's place
Like I was King for a day
(Chorus)
I can see for miles around
Oh for crying out loud
Every face in the crowd
Was looking at us
Sweet amazing grace
Everytime every space
Everything in it's place
Like I was King for a day
Like I was king for a day
King for a day
I was King
Oh yeah
Yeah Yeah Yeah
