[Verse 1]
C                                                    F
A reporter in a jailroom, whispering her source to a dying bulb
          G
While the prince is in a fable, peaceful in his cradle
   Am              G    F
convinced of the impossible
          Dm             G
All those wicked words I used
            C            F
to build my wild Western truth
           Dm            G
I was just following the rules
       C                 F
Yeah I did what I had to do


[Chorus 1]
           Dm            C        G
So now its later than it needs to be
           Em              Am  G
And in the dulcet tones of dream
    F
The prince atop his chariot
G                      C
Heaven bound and glory be


[Verse 2]
C                                                   F
A mother in a market chases after children that she barely knows
          G
While the father on the barstool, dropped off by his carpool
   Am          G        F
is playing a familiar role
          Dm              G
I used to be a conquering king
              C                    F
I watched the slow stars shoot and swing
         Dm                    G
When I'd wake, the world would sing
       C             F
Now, I can't hear anything


[Chorus 2]
           Dm            C        G
So now its later than it needs to be
              Em              Am  G
And while his stranger family sleeps
    F
The king looks for his castle
G                      C
Heaven bound and glory be


[Bridge]
          F               C
There's a myth we must've made
          Em              F
One we're spreading every day
         Dm             G
In every dying dream we grieve
            Em                Am   G
The humming hole we fight and feed
         F
It's the loving lives we long for
G                      C
Heaven bound and glory be


[Verse 3]

(Strum each chord once)
C
A man in a hotel room, tangled to his teeth by the
F
telephone
G
He's waiting on a woman, wondering what she's doing, and
Am            G           F
pacing so his pulse won't slow.

(Fingerpick chords)
              Dm                G                   C
He drums his legs and pulls his hair; he carves her dimples
       F
in the air.
           Dm                    G              C
The raging world has spooked him scared, and he don't want
             F
her lost out there.


[Chorus 3]
(Back to regular strumming pattern)
            Dm             C       G
So now it's later than it needs to be
                Em               Am G
And though his aching eyes want sleep
             Dm       C   G
Against all rationality
        Em               Am G
Against everything he believes
F
He prays for her protection,
G                    Am  Dsus2/F#
Heaven bound & glory be.
F
He prays for her protection,
G                    C   C/B  Am  G
Heaven bound & glory be, oh
     F                          G
And I pray for your protection, heaven bound and glory be
