Capo 2nd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Oh doc, I feel as though it's time

To leave before the lights go on

My soul was cast into the fire

I felt the sound, it burned me twice

I saw my life in front of me

I looked upset, it ain't never framed

Birthdays when nobody came

Baptisms and an empty lane

I don't want to be king for a day

Oh doc, I know just how you feel

When love arrived and then revealed

The moutains that stood in my way

No longer did I need to shake

When angels come to take us home

I leave you here to man the phones

And don't hang up if when I call

To wish you well from clouds beyond

I don't want to be king for a day

I don't want to be king for a day

I don't want to be king for a day
