D D+ Em Ddim (Ddim: 120101)
I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage

D G A Bm
called the blood of the exploited working class

G - Gm -
but they've overcome their shyness - now they're calling me 'your Highness'

D / Bm G / A D A
and a world screams: Kiss me, Son of God



I destroyed the bond of friendship and respect
between the only people left who'd even look me in the eye
now I laugh and make a fortune off the same ones that I tortured

D / Bm G / A D B7
and a world screams: Kiss me, Son of God



Em A(+m9) D - (A+m9: 002320)
I look like Jesus, so they say

Em A(+m9) D -
but Mr Jesus is very far away

F# - Bm -
now you're the only one here who can tell me if it's true

G - - A
that you love me and I love me



I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
called the blood of the exploited working class
but they've overcome their shyness - now they're calling me 'your Highness'

D / Bm G / A D B7
and a world screams: Kiss me, Son of God

G - / A D -
yes the world screams: Kiss me, Son of God
