          D
Let your fighting scars heal
                              A
in the sun of a bright windy day
          D
Let your cold blades sleep
                               A
in the sand till it's rusted away
             G
Washed each night in the waves
                               C
While you sleep away each memory
         F                                   E
And you wake to find yourself a new king to be

A
Away from the dark, you're moving into the light
King of the shadows gives up on a fight
He kicks off them shoes and he throws them away
There's nobody here now except this salty, blue day

        G             D
Out of sight, out of reach
                  A
He's king of the beach

Whatever I was, well, I'm not that now
I tell you because it may help you somehow
So kick off them shoes and throw 'em away
There's nobody here now except this salty, blue day

Out of sight, out of reach
King of the beach, king of the beach

Let your fighting scars heal in
the sun of a bright windy day
Let your cold blades sleep in the sand
till it's rusted away
Washed each night in the waves
While you sleep away each memory
And you wake to find yourself a new king to be

             A
King of the beach, yeah, king of the beach
King of the beach
Out of sight, out of reach, king of the beach

        G              D   E              A
Out of sight, out of reach, king of the beach, yeah

A
King of the beach, king of the beach, yeah
The king of the beach

Kick off them shoes, throw 'em away
There's nobody here now except this salty, blue day

The king of the beach, king of the beach
Yeah, the king of the beach, the king of the beach
Oh, your king of the beach, oh,
your king of the beach
Yeah, your king of the beach, the king of the beach
