A Lion's Heart

By The Tallest Man on Earth

Key of D

[Intro]
D F#m G A A7

[Verse]
          D                           F#m
There's a palace a fallin', there's a smoke in the sky
          G                           A          A7
There's a boy running downhill to the lowlands tonight
         D                                F#m
And he's catching the train to where he's heard you have been
       G                    A           A7
He's a fool now among us, a dreamer within
         D
Dreaming of you

            D                             F#m
And on that day there was snowfall in the street, yellow light
         G                                        A            A7
And they cleared the bill and rails just by those dark shimmer eyes
        D                              F#m
In that land there's a winter, in that winter's a day
        G                            A             A7
In that day there's a moment when it all goes your way

[Chorus]
        Bm          G      A
And you know it's a lion's heart
          Bm         G     A
That will tumble and tear apart
          G               A7        D
When he's coming down the hills for you

[Verse]
            D                             F#m
But can you still now remember who's been hiding up there?
            G                           A           A7
Through his howling at twilight all his songs of despair?
         D                      F#m
Do you remember the caller of a black and white crime?
        G                        A              A7
Well he lives by that memory and falls from his mind

[Chorus]
        Bm          G      A
And you know it's a lion's heart
          Bm         G     A
That will tumble and tear apart
          G               A7        D
When he's coming down the hills for you

[Bridge]
           F#m                 G
Well he'll walk in the city forever
    D                    A
Oh, walk in a time to be gone
             F#m                    G
Well there's no real goodbye if you mean it
     D                  A
So I guess I'm forever alone

[Verse]
           D                          F#m
Now he's a stranger among us, he will die in the park
         G                              A         A7
Where he hides from the statues and the weather remarks
        D                              F#m
In that land there's a winter, in that winter's a day
        G                            A         A7
In that day there's a moment when it all goes away

[Chorus]
        Bm          G      A
And you know it's a lion's heart
          Bm         G     A
That will tumble and tear apart
          G               A7        D
When he's coming down the hills for you
