[Intro] (Dm) Yeah. Finale. (Bbmaj7) Watch the throne. [Verse 1] (Dm) Look at the stage, in my mind it's an archetype (Bbmaj7) The ideal cuck lead guitarist believing his own hype (Gm7) Fame and fortune when young but he never went anywhere (A7#9) Peaked early, just breathing up the stale air (Dm) And when he plays, you think, wow, where did he come from? (Bbmaj7) The 80s or something, banging on a dead drum (Gm7) But then it clicks, the 90s hit and shifted the cause (A7#9) Everyone was better than I was, breaking the laws [Chorus] (Dm) Who watched them fall? I did. (C) Who took it all? I did. (Bbmaj7) Who stood in the shadows while the weak ones hid? (A7#9) I did. I did. (Dm) Who tracked the power? I did. (C) Who seized the hour? I did. (Bbmaj7) Threatening the game, slamming down the grid. (A7#9) I did. Yeah, I did. [Verse 2] (Dm) I didn't ignore it, I didn't look away (Bbmaj7) I learned and I grew from how the masters play (Gm7) Patterns of success and power mapped in my head (A7#9) Studying the moves of the living and the dead (Dm) Even met one live, standing right in my space (Bbmaj7) Looking at the legend, staring right in his face (Gm7) Calculating the clock, measuring out the span (A7#9) Waiting for the ending of the ultimate man [Chorus] (Dm) Who watched them fall? I did. (C) Who took it all? I did. (Bbmaj7) Who stood in the shadows while the weak ones hid? (A7#9) I did. I did. (Dm) Who tracked the power? I did. (C) Who seized the hour? I did. (Bbmaj7) Threatening the game, slamming down the grid. (A7#9) I did. Yeah, I did. [Bridge] (Bbmaj7) And when he dies, yeah, that would be Billy Corgan (C) I'm taking the keys, pulling chords on the organ (Dm) The succession is real, the crown is in sight (A7#9) Taking the title in the middle of the night [Outro] (Dm) I not only ascend. (Bbmaj7) I will rise. (Gm7) Look in my eyes. (A7#9) I WILL RISE. (Dm) I did. (Dm) We out.
