We Could Be Kings Chords

(ver. 1)
Dave Hause
I'm not sure if this is 100% correct (especially the Bridge) but there was no 
other tab for the song so I created one. Feel free to comment :)

VERSE
   B
So this is rejection 
         G#m
 And it's bringing you down 
    E
 He told you that he'd find work soon 
                            F#
 Then he stopped coming around 
   B
 That was the summer of sweet nights 
                        G#m
 He used to take you for rides 
                         E
 But it all changed in the backseat 
    F#
 He came inside 

PRECHORUS
           G#m  F#      E         
 Well he's seen enough to know 
    B      G#m  F#             E                 B
 He's old enough to know what's right from wrong
   G#m         F#    E     B        F#
 I know how hard it is to see things through 

CHORUS

B               E
 Oh no did it rip you apart? 
             G#m
 To be told we could be kings 
                E                  F#
 When we were damned from the start 
B              E
 Oh no did it rip you apart? 
              G#m          F#
 They told us we could be kings 
                E          F#                 B
 When we were damned, damned from the start 

VERSE
 You told him you loved him 
 But pushing come to show 
 There were no easy answers 
 Mixing money and blood 
 He was too young to know better 
 And you were unemployed 
 The sergeant promised a cake walk 
 But then he got deployed 
PRECHORUS
 I've seen enough, enough to know 
 It's not about which side you're on 
 I know how hard it is to keep it in 
CHORUS
 Oh no did it rip you apart? 
 To be told we could be kings 
 When we were damned from the start 
 I know that it rips you apart 
 They told us we could be kings 
 When we were damned, damned from the start 

BRIDGE
B                         E
 We've been living to the left of the dial 
        G#m                             E
 Hoping drinks and denial will keep us here 
B                       E
 I'm not promising you some bright side 
                G#m
 We're trying to break your stride 
                   E
 But you asked me, you asked me 

                   B
 He was gone in an instant 
                        G#m
 They say nobody was spared 
                        E
 Not gonna tell you he loved you 
                        F#
 Not gonna tell you he cared 

PRECHORUS
 Well I've seen enough, enough to know 
 Sometimes with the truth you gotta let it go 
 I know how hard it is to keep it in 
CHORUS
 I won't going rip you apart 
 And tell you, you could be king 
 I don't wanna break your heart 
 I won't going rip you apart 
 So open wide and you'll sing 
E
 Cause we're all damned 
G#m             F
 Open wide and you'll see 
                E           F#                B         G#m F# E B 2x
 Cause we're all damned, damned from the start 
(B)                                     G#m F# E B
 We're damned from the start
