[Verse 1]
B
 So pessimistic
B
 So narcissistic
E
 So cynical
E
 Welcome to my own little world
B
 A false commitment
B
 Oh, I never listened
E
 And I'm just a problem
E
 And no one's ever solved it

[Pre-Chorus 1]
    G#m                 B              C#m              C#madd9
 Oh, I don't think that I could be the one that you want me to be
       E               C#m               E              F#

B
 I, I, I, I, want to run the world, the world, the world, the world

[Verse 2]
B
 I'm never honest
B
 I'm faking all this
E
 Just point those fingers
        E
 'Cause I could never be hurt
B
 I'm not what I say
B
 Oh, I am so fake
E
 Just an illusion
E
 Props to your conclusions

[Pre-Chorus 2]
     G#m            B         C#m            C#madd9
 And why is it that I believe everything they speak of me?
       E               C#m            E                  F#
 It's hard for me sometimes to see beyond all that they want

[Chorus]
B
 I, I, I, I want to run the world
B
 I, I, I, I want to run the
E
 I, I, I, I, want to run the world, the world, the world, the world
E
 And I, I, I, I want to run the world
B
 I, I, I, I want to run the
B
 I, I, I, I, want to run the world, the world, the world, the world
E
 I, I, I, I
B
 I, I, I, I
E
 I, I, I, I, want to run the world, the world, the world, the world
E
 I, I, I, I
B
 I, I, I, I
B
 I, I, I, I, want to run the world, the world, the world, the world
I, I, I, I, want to run the world, the world, the world, the world
