Roman Empire

C                            Am
You didn't question all your motives
When you thought that this was
Em
Highly beneficial for me
C                         Am
You then in turn began to think that
                      Em
It was cute to rub my face
                         D
In all these made up stories

[Chorus]
      C                     Am
Roman Empire is what you are
      Em                   D
Roman Empire is who you are
          A
You’re an empire
           Cmaj7
Darkest of empires
          Em      C Am Em C Am Em
The Roman Empire

[Verse 2]
                 C
You’re building cities on the backs
                  Em
Of all the people working hard
                         Bm
To build a home with memories
C                                Am
This moral ground you think you own
Is frankly dangerous when you’re
Em                               D
Ripping kids away from what they need

[Chorus]
      Cmaj7               Bm
Roman Empire is what you are
        Em               D
Roman Empire is who you arе
           A
You’re an empire
         C
Darkеst of empires
           Em
The Roman Empire
       Cmaj7              Am
Roman Empire is what you are
        Em               D
Roman Empire is who you are
            A
You’re an empire
Am           C
Darkest of empires
           Em     E
The Roman Empire

[Post-Chorus]
            Cmaj7  Am A Em
(You're an empire)
            Cmaj7 Em
(You're an empire)

[Bridge]
        Cmaj7
What if God’s not real and
Am            A
Everything we are
          Em
Is just a moment here where
We’re only growing older?
       Cmaj7
What if God is real and
Am
Everything I’ve done
          Em
Pushed me down this path
                              Cmaj7 A Em D
And it’s only growing colder?

[Chorus]
       Cmaj7              Am
Roman Empire is what you are
        Em               D
Roman Empire is who you are
           Am
You’re an empire
             C
Darkest of empires
           Em
The Roman Empire
       Cmaj7              Am
Roman Empire is what you are
        Em               D
Roman Empire is who you are
            Am
You’re an empire

Darkest of empires
           Em
The Roman Empire

(You're an empire)
            Cmaj7  Am   Em
(You're an empire)

[Outro]
        Cmaj7
What if God’s not real and
Am
Everything we are
          Em
Is just a moment here where
We’re only growing older?
       Cmaj7
What if God is real and
Am
Everything I’ve done
          Em
Pushed me down this path
                          N.C.
And it’s only growing colder?
