    D            D+           Em           Ddim    (Ddim: 120101)
I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage

             D              G               A    Bm
called the blood of the exploited working class

            G                -                    Gm                -
but they've overcome their shyness - now they're calling me 'your Highness'

        D   /  Bm      G   /   A      D   A
and a world screams: Kiss me, Son of God



I destroyed the bond of friendship and respect
between the only people left who'd even look me in the eye
now I laugh and make a fortune off the same ones that I tortured

        D   /  Bm      G   /   A      D   B7
and a world screams: Kiss me, Son of God



            Em   A(+m9)     D  -  (A+m9: 002320)
I look like Jesus, so they say

       Em      A(+m9)      D  -
but Mr Jesus is very far away

               F#         -           Bm                -
now you're the only one here who can tell me if it's true

      G        -     -      A
that you love me and I love me



I built a little empire out of some crazy garbage
called the blood of the exploited working class
but they've overcome their shyness - now they're calling me 'your Highness'

        D   /  Bm      G   /   A      D   B7
and a world screams: Kiss me, Son of God

          G             -    /   A      D  -
yes the world screams: Kiss me, Son of God
