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


Chorus:
        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
