Key : D
[Intro]
B
D
Every night
Dmaj7
When we say goodbye
C
I know that I can
Em
See myself as a man
D
When I put on that suit
Dmaj7
I don't have to stay mute
C
I can talk all the time
Em
'Cause my shoulders are wide
[Verse 1]
D F#m E
And I'm falling like the leaves on Leningrad
D F#m E
I follow your footprints when I can't hold your hand
D A E
My darling, believe me, I was born to be with you
D A E
But it'll be me that the world will answer to
[Chorus]
B D#
And just for a second
G#m G
I could be one of the greats
B D#
I'll be Caesar on a TV screen
G#m G
Champion of my fate
B D#
No one can tell me to stop
G#m A
I'll have everything I want
G#m E B
Anyone and everyone will like me then
E B
Everyone will like me then
[Bridge]
D
When I was a child
Dmaj7
I never felt like a child
C
I felt like an emperor
Em
With a city to burn
D
I got down on my knees
Dmaj7
Begged the man in the trees
C
To give me an answer
Em
Je ne veux pas penser
[Verse 2]
D F#m E
And it's raining like it did in Leningrad
D F#m E
My lover would like to buy a flat in Leningrad
D A E
And I'd trade my tongue in just to hear him every night
D A E
To talk about Red Scare and how they got it right
[Chorus]
B D#
And just for a second
G#m G
I could be one of the greats
B D#
I am Caesar on a TV screen
G#m G
Champion of my fate
B D#
No one can tell me to stop
G#m A
I'll have everything I want
G#m E B
Anyone and everyone will like me then
E
Everyone will love me
