INTRO: G

G
I don't have a girl to bail me out tonight
C                                  G
I don't have the means to help myself
    C              C/E              G
And I don't have a friend to get me tight tonight
   Am7                                     D
It seems like nothin's right when nothin's left

  Cmaj7                       G
I bit the hand that fed and I made the knife that bled me...
                   Em  G
But I used to be a lion   
               Am  G
I used to be a lion 

G
I don't have the pride to hold my head up high
    C                                     G
And I don't have the strength to make the kill
C                  C/E                G
These days I don't run free, I'm just passin' by
Am7                        D
Wakin' up at all's my only thrill

  Cmaj7                           G
I lost the ones that love me, now everyone's above me...
                    Em G
But I used to be a lion    
               Am  G
I used to be a lion

C       G
Ooooh   ooooh
C       Em
Ooooh   ooooh
C       G
Ooooh   ooooh
Am7     D
Ooooh   ooooh

  Cmaj7                           G
I bit the hand that fed me, and I made the knife that bled me...
                   Em  G
But I used to be a lion    
               Am  G
I used to be a lion

  Cmaj7                           G
I lost the ones that love me, now everyone's above me...
                Em  G
But I used to a lion    
N/C
I used to be a lion
