C#m             E/B             A
 I tried to fit you in the walls inside my mind
          C#m              E              A
 I try to keep you safely in between the lines
          C#m             E               A
 I try to put you in the box that I've designed
          C#m               E             A
 I try to pull you down so we are eye to eye

 
[Chorus]
          A                   C#m              E
 When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world?
          A                   C#m                      E
 I try to take life back right out of the hands of the king of the world
             A          C#m
 How could I make you so small
                 E                F#m
 When you're the one who holds it all
          A                   C#m              E
 When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world
 

[Verse 2]
        C#m              E/B                A
 Just a whisper of your voice can tame the seas
    C#m          E/B             A
 So who am I to try to take the lead
         C#m            E/B              A
 Still I run ahead and think I'm strong enough
      C#m                 E/B              A
 When you're the one who made me from the dust
 

[Chorus]
          A                   C#m              E
 When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world?
          A                   C#m                      E
 I try to take life back right out of the hands of the king of the world
             A          C#m
 How could I make you so small
                 E                F#m
 When you're the one who holds it all
          A                   C#m              E
 When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world
 

[Bridge]
 B/D#
  Ohhhh, you set it all in motion
 F#m              E
 Every single moment
                       B/D#
 You brought it all to me
            A            E  B/D#
 And you're holding on to me 
 

[Chorus]
          A                   C#m              E
 When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world?
          A                   C#m                      E
 I try to take life back right out of the hands of the king of the world
             A          C#m
 How could I make you so small
                 E                F#m
 When you're the one who holds it all
          A                   C#m              E
 When did I forget that you've always been the king of the world


[Ending]
A         C#m           E
 You will always be the King of the World
