Bling (Confession of a King)

	 
[Intro]
F# 
  
Bm 
  When I offer you survival 
G 
 You say it's hard enough to live 
Em                             G 
  It's not so bad, it's not so bad 
A                Bm                 G  A 
 How do you know that you're right?
[Verse]
   Bm 
I awoke on the roadside 
       G 
In the land of the free ride 
            Em 
And I can't pull it any longer 
    Bm 
The sun is beating down my neck   
     Bm 
So I ran with the devil 
       G 
Left a trail of excuses 
       Em 
Like a stone on the water 
    Bm 
The elements decide my fate 
         G    D    A      D 
Watch it go . . . "bling"
[Chorus]
Bm                A 
When I offer you survival 
G 
You say it's hard enough to live 
D                  A 
Don't tell me that it's over 
        G 
Stand up, Poor and tired but more than this   
D               A 
How do you know that you're right? 
              G 
If you're not nervous anymore 
D           A                G 
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
[Verse]
                          Bm 
I feel my vision slipping in and out of focus 
        G 
But I'm pushing on for that horizon 
            Em 
I'm pushing on 
                 Bm 
Now I've got the blowing wind against my face  
  
So you sling rocks at the rip tide 
     G 
Am I wrong or am I right? 
          Em 
I hit the bottom with a "huh!" - Quite strange 
         Bm 
I get my glory in the desert rain 
         G    D    A      D 
Watch it go . . . "bling"
[Chorus]
Bm                A 
When I offer you survival 
G 
You say it's hard enough to live 
D                  A 
Don't tell me that it's over 
        G 
Stand up, poor and tired but more than this   
D               A 
How do you know that you're right? 
              G 
If you're not nervous anymore 
D           A                G 
It's not so bad, it's not so bad
[Bridge]
D 
Higher and higher 
  
We're gonna take it 
  
Down to the wire 
  
We're gonna make it 
G          A    D  Bm 
Out of the fire 
G          A      D 
Higher and higher  
D 
Higher and higher 
  
We're gonna take it 
  
Down to the wire 
  
We're gonna make it out 
G    A  D  Bm 
Whoa-oh-oh-oh!  
G          A      D 
Higher and higher
[Outro]
G        A       Bm 
It ain't hard to hold 
        F#m         G 
When it shines like gold 
         A      D 
You'll remember me
