Intro: G
G
Cold as winter in the dead of July
That bitter chill don't just live in my mind
Em D G
And I can see us taking over the world
I know loss I've looked pain in the eye
I've seen the demons that live in the night
Em
But if I was king
D G
If I was king of the world
[Refrão]
C
All the tales
G
That have never been told
Em D
Build up fires to keep away the cold
C
We'll sing songs
G
That will never get old
D
We'll be here forever
C G
We'll rule the world together forever
Em D
With hearts of gold who needs any treasure?
C G
We'll take our time just living our lives
D
Our castle in the sky
G D
If I was king of the world
G
I was a stranger
Held my hand to my eyes
Blindly walking on a street full of lies
Em
But I found truth
D G
Buried deep inside of my bones
Lonely nights shaking villains and thieves
So I keep fighting with my heart on my sleeve
Em
But if I was king
D G
If I was king of the world
Chorus:
Em
Then one day the leaves changed
And all that was once grey
C
It seemed to just fade away
G
I'm feeling so alive
D
In this castle in the sky
Chorus:
C G
We'll rule the world together forever
Em D
With hearts of gold who needs any treasure?
C G
We'll take our time just living our lives
D
Our castle in the sky
G D
If I was king of the world
