[Verse]
 
               Am                          D
There's been a whole lot of trouble in the place where I've been
     G                          Am
It's bothered the king and it's upset the queen
    Am                                D
The knaves have been playing with the princesses' maid
    G                                Am
The jester's been running 'round the courtyard again.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
D                   F
And I've been cryin', someone's lying
G           C
I'm relying on my mind
D                F
I'm not forgivin', I've stopped living
G                        E
There's a demon and it's gonna be stopped
             Am                  F    G
Because it's got everyone on the run.
 
 
[Verse 2]
 
    Am                       D
The owls are all hootin' and no one can sleep
    G                                     Am
The shepherds are worrying 'cause they're losin' their sheep
    Am                               D
The soldiers are marching with their steel sticks of war
G                           Am
People are runnin' and they can't take no more
 
 
[Chorus 2]
 
D                   F
And I've been cryin', someone's lying
G           C
I'm relying on my mind
D                F
I'm not forgivin', I've stopped living
G                        E
There's a demon and it's gonna be stopped
             Am                  F    G
Because it's got everyone on the run.
 
 
[Verse 3]
 
    Am
The icebox is steaming, the oven is cold
    Am
The moon’s turned yellow, the sun's turned to stone
    Am                       D
The windmill's stopped turning, the flowers won't grow
    Am
The taps have stopped running and the clocks have gone slow.
 
 
[Chorus 3]
 
D                   F
And I've been cryin', someone's lying
G           C
I'm relying on my mind
D                F
I'm not forgivin', I've stopped living
G                        E
There's a demon and it's gonna be stopped
             Am                  F    G
Because it's got everyone on the run.

[Verse 4]
 
    Am
The icebox is steaming, the oven is cold
    Am
The moon’s turned yellow, the sun's turned to stone
    Am                       D
The windmill's stopped turning, the flowers won't grow
    Am
The taps have stopped running and the clocks have gone slow.
