[G] [D] Stop without a care [Em] your heads not heavy [D] your conscience [G] clear sins are all [D] forgiven here
[Am] yours and [C] [G] mine
Fear is gone [D] without a trace.
It's [C] the perfect time in [D] the perfect place
[G] Nothing and nothing [D] so no one [C] suffers anymore
The doctor found a simple [D] cure just [G] in time
All these things [C] if I was king
Would [Em] all [D] appear around me
The [G] world does say that I am king
The world does say that I am king
The world does say that I am king
Ah she walks [D] right in
She don't even knock
It's the [C] girl you [D] lost to the high school [G] doc
She shuts the [D] door
Turns the lock and [Am] she takes [C] your hand
[G] She said she always [D] felt a [C] fool
For picking the [D] cap in all of [G] you
She wonders if [D] you miss her
Says she always called [C] her sister
Now that you're the first to [D] kiss her
She'd have [G] her head
All these things if [C] I were [Em] king
Would all [D] appear around me
[G] The world does say that I am king
The world does say that I am king
The [Em]
[D] world does say that I am king
The light [C] waits to shine
[G] Until the moment [Am] you awaken
[D] So [C] you never [Bm] miss the [D] dawn
The [C] question [G] now
You know which road [C] you're taking
[D] Lights all [C] green
The radio [G] plays just the [D] perfect song Song [G] Song Song
[C] [Em] Song
[Dm] [G]
[D] [G] I'm the worst human
[D] The fights are fine
[C] And you find yourself
[D] In just the spot [G] in a place
Where [D] everybody's got
[A] A song [C] to [D] sing
[G] They're like the [D] final movie [C] team
Where Prince will find
[D] His perfect queen
[G] The hero always sees [D] the world
The villains get what they [C] deserve
The poor always get [D] left out
And I am [G] king
All these [C] things if I were king
[Em] Would all appear [D] around me
[G] The world [C] does sing
[G] That I am king
All these things [C] if I were king
[Em] Would all appear [D] around me
[G] The world does sing
That I am king
The world [D] does sing [G] that I am king
The world does sing that I am king
