Now the pale morning sings of forgotten things
Em G Em
She plays a tune for those who wish to overlook
Em G D Em
The fact that they'd been blindly deceived by those who preach and pray and teach
Em G Em
But she falls short and the night explodes with laughter
Em G D Em
Don&rsquo t you come here and say I didn&rsquo t warn you
Em G Em
About the way your world can alter
Em G D Em
And oh, how you try to command it all, still
Em G Em
Every single time it all shifts one way or another
C G D Em
And I&rsquo m a goddamn coward, but then again so are you
C G D Em
And the lion&rsquo s roar, the lion&rsquo s roar
C G D Em
As we evaded and hollering for you
C G D Em
And I never really knew, what to do
Em G D Em
Now I guess sometimes I wish you were a little more predictable
Em G Em
That I could read you just like a book
Em G D Em
For now I can only guess what&rsquo s coming next
Em G D
By examining your timid smile
Em G D Em
And the ways that the old, old wind, blowin&rsquo you back around
C G D Em
And I&rsquo m a goddamn fool, but then again so are you
C G D Em
And the lion&rsquo s roar, the lion&rsquo s roar
C G D Em
Has me singing out and searching for you
C G D Em
And I never really knew, what to do
Em G D Em

Sometimes I wish I could find my rose mary hill
A7 C Em
I sit there and look at the deserted lakes and I&rsquo d sing
C G D Em
And every once in a while I&rsquo d sing a song for you
C G D Em
That would rise above the mountains and the stars and the sea
C Em
And if I wanted it to, it would lead you back to me
C G D Em
And the lion&rsquo s roar, the lion&rsquo s roar
C G D Em
Is something that I have heard before
C G D Em
a children&rsquo s tale, the lonesome wail
Em G D Em
of a liiiiion&rsquo s roar
