Bm 
D 
G 
I  stand here smiling,
C 
for now there's nothing wrong
D 
Bm 
D 
And I'm thankful for another night,
G 
and for another song
For I feel just like a king,
C 
and I feel like I belong
D 
But my kingdom's like
Bm 
a   dream each night,
D 
G 
It never lasts for long.
And they call me the king
D 
Bm 
of the honky -tonks,
D 
Bm 
Some even worship the
D 
G 
ground I walk on,
But they've never seen me
D 
Bm 
when I'm not on the throne
D 
Bm 
When the music stops playing
D 
Bm 
D 
C 
G

and the crowd is all gone

Bm 
D 
G 
Somewhere there's a princess
C 
Who'd love to see her die
D 
Bm 
My heart holds to the memory
D 
G 
Of a few good times we've had
And I pray to God she understands
C 
That once you've worn the crown
D 
Bm 
Your pride won't let you live again
D 
G 
If you ever put it down
And they call me the king
D 
Bm 
of the honky -tonks
D 
Bm 
They think there's nothing
D 
G 
in life I could want
The day never seen me
D 
Bm 
when I'm all alone
D 
I'm a king without,
Bm 
D 
a queen without,
G 
a palace or a home
D 
Bm 
D 
Bm 
D 
I'm a king without, a queen without,
a palace or a home
G
