Intro: Cadd9  Dsus4  G  Em7 (2x) 

Verso 
(Em7)     Cadd9    Dsus4 
I used to rule the world  
           G                    Em7 
Seas would rise when I gave the word  
                     Cadd9   Dsus4 
Now in the morning I sleep alone  
          G                 Em7 
Sweep the streets I used to own 

( Cadd9  Dsus4  G  Em7 ) 
( Cadd9  Dsus4  G  Em7 ) 

Verso 
(Em7)     Cadd9     Dsus4 
I used to roll the dice  
          G                 Em7 
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes  
              Cadd9        Dsus4 
Listen as the crowd would sing:  
          G                 Em7 
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" 
(Em7)        Cadd9    Dsus4 
One minute I held the key  
         G                    Em7 
Next the walls were closed on me  
                          Cadd9    Dsus4 
And I discovered that my castles stand  
     G                    Em7 
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand  

Verso 
  Cadd9          Dsus4 
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing  
G             Em7 
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing  
Cadd9            Dsus4 
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield  
   G                 Em7 
My missionaries in a foreign field  
Cadd9             Dsus4 
For some reason I can't explain  
G                     Em7             Cadd9  Dsus4 
Once you go there was never, never an honest word 
         G                Em7 
That was when I ruled the world

Verso 
(Em7)                  Cadd9 Dsus4 
It was the wicked and wild wind  
              G               Em7 
Blew down the doors to let me in 
                          Cadd9    Dsus4 
Shattered windows and the sound of drums  
       G                    Em7 
People couldn't believe what I'd become 
(Em7)    Cadd9  Dsus4 
Revolutionaries wait  
        G               Em7 
For my head on a silver plate  
                   Cadd9  Dsus4 
Just a puppet on a lonely string 
   G                         Em7 
Oh who would ever want to be king?  
  Cadd9          Dsus4 
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing  
G             Em7 
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing  
Cadd9            Dsus4 
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield  
   G                 Em7 
My missionaries in a foreign field  
Cadd9             Dsus4 
For some reason I can't explain  
  G                     Em7 
I know Saint Peter will call my name  
   Cadd9       Dsus4 
Never an honest word 
              G               Em7 
But that was when I ruled the world
