Am  C  G  Am


Am                    C         G        Am
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
Am                              C          Am
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
Am                           C                  G                    Am
The fact that they've been blindly deceived by those who preach and pray and teach
Am                           C                 Am
But she falls short and the night explodes in laughter


Am                           C     G          Am
But don't you come here and say I didn't warn you
Am                  C         Am
About the way your world can alter
Am              C        G            Am
And oh how you try to command it all still
Am                                   C          Am
Every single time it all shifts one way or the other


            F       C                G          Am
And I'm a goddamn coward, but then again so are you
         F      C         G      Am
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
         F          C     G      Am
Has me evading and hollering for you
       F      C     G           Am
And I never really knew what to do


Am C G Am

Am               C                         G             Am
Well I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable
Am                     C           Am
That I could read you just like a book
Am             C          G             Am
For now I can only guess what's coming next
Am               C     G     
By examining your timid smile
Am                   C        G                       Am
And the ways of the old, old winds blowing you back 'round


            F      C               G          Am
And I'm a goddamn fool, but then again so are you
         F      C         G      Am
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
         F              C     G      Am
Has me seeking out and searching for you
        F     C     G           Am
And I never really knew what to do


Am C G Am  x 2


D                 F                 Am
Sometimes I wish I could find my Rosemary Hill
D                            F                        Am
I'd sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I'd sing
           F          C        G              Am
And every once in a while I'd sing a song for you
            F               C                 G           Am
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
           F                                    Am
And if I wanted it to it would lead you back to me


         F      C         G      Am
And the lion's roar, the lion's roar
       F          C        G     Am
Is something that I have heard before
     F        C           G      Am
A children's tale, the lonesome wail 
F     C   G  Am
Of a lion's roar


Am C G Am  x 3
