[Verse 1: Eret]
F#m E
Ever since I was a kid
C#m Bm
I wanted to reach the stars
F#m E
I was born to sit on a throne
C#m Bm
Not collect battle scars
F#m E
Your loyalty is cute
C#m Bm
But it's what makes you weak
F#m E
Friendship means nothing
C#m Bm
'Cause it's power that I seek
[Chorus: Eret]
F#m C#m
It was never meant to be
Em Bm
Now I'm king of the SMP
F#m C#m
This was my destiny
E Bm
So it was never meant to be
[Verse 2: Wilbur]
F#m E
L'Manburg once was beautiful
C#m Bm
And good and pure
F#m E
But now that it's perverted
C#m Bm
I have nothing to live for
F#m E
My nation no longer exists
C#m Bm
This imitation must burn
F#m E
Maybe when their world turns to ash
C#m Bm
They'll all finally learn
[Chorus: Wilbur]
F#m C#m
It was never mеant to be
E Bm
My great unfinished symphony
F#m C#m
My country will diе with me
E Bm
'Cause it was never meant to be
[Verse 3: Niki]
F#m E
Wil tried to set us free
C#m Bm
But these men won't let go
F#m E
Even if we rebuild
C#m Bm
This will never again be our home
F#m E
There's nothing left
C#m Bm
But a ghost
F#m E
The last piece destroyed
C#m Bm
By the girl who loved it most
[Chorus: Niki]
F#m C#m
It was never meant to be
E Bm
That's why I burned down that damned tree
F#m C#m
Nothing left but a memory
E Bm
For it was never meant to be
