Black Swan chords

[Am]

there was a black swan outside the palace
it was appointed by the king
and people took it as a sign that he needed more time
but you said "I ain't afraid of no black bird!"

there was a rumor of a ghost in the bedroom,
hanging in and around the bed
but by the time the moon rose, you had taken off your clothes
and had the pillow under your head

[Am]Oh oh [C]oh[F] oh [G]oh[Am] oh...

[Am]

there was the face you saw above you
in the fever of a hot black dream
but it was made out of paper and glue
and you were hoping for something a little more realistic
you were hoping for the head of the queen

[Am]Oh oh [G]oh[F] oh [G]oh[Am] oh...

[Am]

my heart is a kingdom
where the king is a heart
and my heart is king
my heart is king
and my heart is a kingdom
where the king is a heart
and my heart is king
the king of hearts

there was the ma[E]tador who said he would h[F]ave you
if you could only give it up and walk a[C]way
he has ca[E]rved out an avenue f[F]or you
from the pa[G]lace to the pal[Am]isades
[E]and now it's half dest[F]royed
and you are half dest[C]royed

i see you run[G]ning between the dr[Am]eam and the void
