[Verse]
                     C        G         Am    
Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
                               C       Am      
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
                                   C       
The fact that they've been blindly deceived
                    Am                
By those who preach and pray and teach
    Am                                                
But she falls short and the night explodes in laughter
                        C                        
But don't you come here and say I didn't warn you
Am            C          Am       
About the way your world can alter
               C      G              Am   
And oh how you try to command it all still
                     C                     Am       
Every single time it all shifts one way or the other


[Chorus]
          F       C               G            Am 
And I'm a goddamn coward but then again so are you
        F      C        G      Am  
And the lion's roar the lion's roar
       F       C   G             Am 
Has me evading and hollering for you
    F C            G              
And I never really knew what to do

[Verse]
                        C               G      Am              
Now I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable
                           C      Am  
That I could read you just like a book
              C          G      Am         
For now I can only guess what's coming next
                  C     G      
By examining your timid ■ smile
        Am          C       G                      Am    
And the ways of the old old winds blowing you back 'round


[Chorus]
          F       C             G        Am     
And I'm a goddamn fool but then again so are you
        F      C        G      Am  
And the lion's roar the lion's roar
    F                  C         G Am     
Has me seeking out and searching ■ for you
    F       C      G            Am
And I never really knew what to do

[Verse]
            F                    Am           
Sometimes I wish I could find my Rosemary Hill
    D7            F                                  Am  
I'd sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I'd sing


[Chorus]
          F               C   G      Am          
And every once in a while I'd sing a song for you
           F              C                 G         Am     
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
         F                                   Am F   
And if I wanted it to it would lead you back to ■ me
        C               G      Am  
And the lion's roar the lion's roar
   F         C           G     Am    
Is something that I have heard before
F C                   Gsus4    Am7  F    C      G   
A children's tale the lonesome wail of a lion's roar
