King Of The World

C                       G
 Once upon a time I had tides to control
      Am
I had moons to spin
    F
And stars to ignite
Am                            G
 And they threw flowers at my feet
                          F
When I walked through the town
C                       G
 Once upon a time I had lives to protect
      Am
I had rules to change
    F
And wrongs to set right
Am                           G
 And there were people at my side
                              F
And there were rivers I could guide
I wanted nothing in return

       F
Let me out of here
        G
Give me back all my dreams
       C
Let me out of here
    Am
Let please see the sun
       F
Let me out of here
         G
At least tell me what I did wrong

C               G
I'm king of the world
             Am
Chief of the sea
            F
High in the wind
At least I used to be
    C               G
And I'm king of the world
              Am
Please set me free
         F
Let me remind them of my promise
                       C
Live my given destiny

C                       G
 Once upon a time I had fate in my hands
        Am              F
And the confidence of a million regimes
Am                                 G
 And they said, "Brother you're in charge
                          F
We'll follow anything you say"
C                        G
 Once upon a time Father said to me
               Am
"Child you are everything
         F
That you see in your dreams"
Am                                 G
 And I thought, Jesus, that's the key
                               F
There are no walls surrounding me
There are no prisons in this life

       F
Let me out of here
        G
Give me back to the wind
       C
Let me out of here
       Am
Let me please see my son
       F
Let me out of here
          G
Don't you understand who I am?

C               G
I'm king of the world
             Am
Chief of the sea
            F
High in the wind
At least I try to be
    C               G
And I'm king of the world
              Am
Please set me free
          F
I had the power and the promise
                       C
Give me back my family

Am                       F
 Why are we punished for wanting to explore?
         C                    G
Why am I sitting in this cell?
Am                         F
 I was not challenging the system
                      C
I was working for the people
                    G
I just wanted to be better
Am                       F
 Why are we punished for wanting to survive?
         C                        G
Why am I locked behind these bars?
Am                        F
 Tell the children I'll return to them
                C
Tell them . . . Someone
         G
Let them know I will be free
G
 I will not be defeated
G
 I will stand like a mountain
G
 And the road will stretch before me
G
 And they'll know it's time to follow
          G
And we'll lift our eyes
    G
And raise our heads
    G
And face the sun
    G
And tell the future

C               G
I'm king of the world
            Am
Land of the free
            F
High in the sky
The best that I can be
    C               G
And I'm king of the world
                 Am
Watch and you'll see
            F
Nothing can stop me from tomorrow
Keep me from my destiny
C               G
I'm king of the world
Am              F
I'm king of the world
C         C
I'm . . . I'm .
                       C
At least I used to be
