Joshua Leventhal – Goliath chords

[Verse 1]
G                  C                      G          CI met Goliath on a day that I did not foresee
G                       C                  G       CI'm not a soldier and I never expected to be
       EmBut he shouts at my kin
    C                          GAnd mocks them as he turns his back
     Em                   CIt's not so much glory as honor
                    G      CThat drives me to act


[Verse 2]
    GThe youngest of seven
           C                G       CNo one was ever looking at me
  GExcept the Almighty
        C                           G     CStaring right through my chest cavity
    EmThe prophet-man said
    C                             GGod looked in my heart and saw a king
      EmBut I know my heart well and
  C                       GI never quite like what I see


[Chorus]
      EmAnd a crown is the last thing
  C                           GI ever thought would grace my bow
         EmI didn't want it back then and
    C                  BmI'm not sure I want it now
         EmI've got no need to follow
   C                       GTo follow the footsteps of kings
       Em                           CI just wanna tend pastures and kill giants
                 G           CWith pebbles and slings


[Verse 3]
GBeauty on rooftops
      C                       G        CLeads swift to the den of the dead
    GThe lust of my flesh
         C                              G        CNumbs my heart, numbs my soul, numbs my head
    EmThe darkness is dancing
      C                   GI can feel his ear-to-ear grin
      EmWell, I'm sick and I'm twisted
        C                GAgainst God alone have I sinned


[Chorus]
      EmAnd a crown is the last thing
  C                           GI ever thought would grace my bow
         EmI didn't want it back then and
    C                  BmI'm not sure I want it now
         EmI've got no need to follow
   C                       GTo follow the footsteps of kings
       Em                           CI just wanna tend pastures and kill giants
                 G           CWith pebbles and slings


[Instrumental]

Em   C    G


[Verse 4]
     G                     C                G       CWell I slew Goliath twenty years ago to the day
      GI can still feel his heartbeat
     C               G       CJust slowly slipping away
    EmAnd he was a monster
C                    GThat much is easy to see
       EmBut it takes one to kill one
   C                   GSo what does that make me?
