Intro
F C A Dm A# F C C [x2]
[Verse]
F
With a soft underbelly,
C
and a hardened heart,
A Dm
they say you gotta be tough if you ain't that smart,
A# F C C
I'm sittin here alone, waitin for my phone to ring.
[Verse]
F
Run outta time,
C
run outta hope,
A Dm
the boys on the corner never run outta dope,
A# F C C
I keep myself high, so I can keep doin' my thing.
[Verse]
F
They say,
C
stupid is as stupid does,
A Dm
and everything's the same as it ever was,
A# F C C
I drink myself blind tryin' to find a new song to sing.
[Verse]
F
Time is money,
C
Money talks,
A Dm
Bartender pour me one more whiskey on the rocks,
A# F C C
while I try to understand, why every man wants to be king.
[Chorus]
Dm Dm C C
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Dm Dm C C
Everybody, kicks you when you're down.
Dm Dm C C
Laugh for now, later you can frown.
Dm Dm A# C
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
[Verse]
F
With a sweet disposition,
C
and an iron will,
A Dm
a couple nice cars, and a house on a hill,
A# F C C
my bank account's full but my soul's still empty and cold.
[Verse]
F
All the money and the clothes,
C
and the sold out shows,
A Dm
don't mean a damn thing when nobody knows you,
A# F C C
and your home is just a house when you're sittin' there alone and you're old.
[Verse]
F
I heard, love is a game,
C
I heard love is a rock,
A Dm
I heard love is a house on a dead end block,
A# F C C
but the ending keeps changin' every time, the story gets told.
[Verse]
F
Some pray for money,
C
some pray for rain,
A Dm
and some are just are just prayin' for relief from the pain,
A# F C C
and some of us'll buy just 'bout anything we can be sold.
[Chorus]
Dm Dm C C
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Dm Dm C C
Everybody, kicks you when you're down.
Dm Dm C C
Laugh for now, later you can frown.
Dm Dm A# C
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
[Bridge]
A# A# F C [x2]
[Verse]
F
I'm a mean old dog,
C
got a big old gun,
A Dm
I'm a proud new papa, I'm an only son,
A# F C C
I'm a beggar I'm a thief I'm a liar and a cheater too.
[Verse]
F
I've been around the block,
C
I've been around the sun,
A Dm
I've been up, I've been down, I've been over and done,
A# F C C
I've seen the bottom of the pile and the mountaintop, either will do.
[Chorus]
Dm Dm C C
Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
Dm Dm C C
Everybody, kicks you when you're down.
Dm Dm C C
Laugh for now, later you can frown.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
