Fm7  Bb  Cm  Bb/D  Eb
        Fm7  Bb  Cm9

Cm7                      Ab2
I'm supposed to choose a suitor
            Eb Bb4
To wear the crown
Cm7                      Ab2
I said I would choose as soon
                  Eb Bb4
As I weave this shroud
           Fm7       Bb4   Cm9
They don't know that every night
    Cm
I unthread all the work I've done
Fm7       Bb4    Cm7
 Cause I'd rather lie
Than allow them to think they've
Won
Ab             Bb
Though I never thought that
      Eb  Bb/D Cm
I'd resort to this
Bb   Ab            Bb
Just know I'll be here
      Cm7
But I don't know how much longer
    Ab2                      Eb  Bb
I'll last Since we saw that storm
    Cm7
And though it was so close to our
Ab2                         Eb
Kingdom It was far from the norm
  Bb
Unless
             Fm7     Bb4      Cm7
Oh, could it be some kind of sign
That my world is all about
   Fm7
To change?
      Bb4     Cm7
Is it finally time for
The challenge I arranged?
Ab              Bb
Though I never thought that it
      Eb  Bb/D Cm7
Would come to this
Bb   Ab           Bb
Just know I'll be here
            Cm
Buying you time

Cm                     Ab2
Time is fleeting, it's running out
Fm7                G
Time to be the man of the house
(Oh, buying you time)
Cm                     Ab2
Time is fleeting, it's running out
Fm7                G
Time to be the man of the house

  Cm7
Whoever can string
   Ab2
My husband's old bow
    Eb
And shoot through twelve
     Bb4  Bb
Axes cleanly
    Cm7
Will be the new king
    Bb/D
Sit down at the throne
    Eb                  Bb
And rule with me as his queen
Fm7      Bb    Cm9
 Let the arrow fly
Once you know that your aim is true
Fm7        Bb4    Cm7
 Cause I'd rather die
That grow old without the best
Of you
Cm7            Ab2
Though I never thought that these
      Eb
Would be the lengths we'd
Bb4
Go for love
Cm7                Ab2        Eb  Bb
I would not have it any other way
    Ab             Bb
And though I never thought that
         Eb  Bb/D Cm7
It would end like this
Bb   Ab             Bb
Just know, I'll be here
Eb Bb/Eb Eb2 Eb
Waiting, waiting (Penelope)
Ab2 Ab/Bb Ab6 Ab2
Waiting,  waiting (Penelope)
Cm7       Bb/D     Ab2
 Waiting, waiting  Oh
