[E]even the most shimmering rain
empties out the sky and comes to an en[A]d
[E]we all know that the sun is king
there's no [A]messing with our orbitin[E]g
so [B]why is he standing in his own backyard[E]?
[D]crying at his falling [A]down house of card[E]?
did you see the ice in his eye?
did you see the dagger caught in his smile?
innocent as a summer flower
with a serpent coiled under his collar
so why is he standing in his own backyard?
crying at his falling down house of card?

Now, if you don't have a capo, which I can sympathize with, then here are the
actual names of those chords.
