Bm                   D                       Em
You didn’t want to know, you didn’t want to see
                                              Bm
You threw it in the fire, you threw it in the fire
                      D                     Em
And then you took my eyes, so I could never be
The painter of your boy
And then I go:
 G                   A
King, for king, oh, king, bring the guillotine

You didn’t want to know, you didn’t want to see
You threw it in the fire, you threw it in the fire
And then you took my eyes, so I could never be
The painter of your boy
And then I go:
King, for king, oh, king, bring the guillotine
Bring the guillotine
