[D] [G]
I used to rule the world.
Seas would rise when I gave them foot.
Now in the morning I sleep alone.
Sweep the streets I used to own.
I used to roam, need to die.
Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes.
Listen as the crowd [D] would sing.
[G] And now the old king's dead, [Em] long live the king.
One [C] minute I [A] held the key.
[G] Next the walls had closed [Em] on me.
And I discovered [C] that my [A] castle's sand.
[Bm] Upon pillars of salt, [Em] pillars of sand.
[C] I did choose [D] the land else to win [G] it.
Roman capital [Em] be quite to stand [C] it.
Be my mirror, my sword, my shield.
[G] A missionary's [Em] in a foreign field.
[C] Lost on reason, [D] I can't explain.
[G] Once you know [Em] there was never, never [C] an honest [D] word.
[G] That's when I ruled [Em] the world.
Oh, [C] I, [D] [G]

[G] I'm lost and feel [Bm] alone.
All my day, [C] there's an honest [D] word.
But [Bm] that was when I ruled [Em] the world.
