[Strophe]
                Em  Bm    Em  Bm 
Welcome to your life  
                   Em  Bm    Em  Bm 
There's no turning back  
                Em  Bm (Break) 
Even while we sleep  
  
We will find you
[Refrain]
Am             Bm 
Acting on your best behaviour  
Am                Bm 
Turn your back on mother nature  
(Break)    Em       Bm       Em 
Everybody wants to rule the world

Em  Bm 
               Em  Bm    Em  Bm 
It's my own design  
                Em  Bm    Em  Bm 
It's my own remorse  
               Em  Bm 
Help me to decide 
[Refrain]
                  Am           Bm               C 
Help me make the most of freedom and of pleasure  
D 
Nothing ever lasts forever  
(Break) 
Everybody wants to rule the world
[Outro]
C                        D 
There's a room where the light won't find you  
C                        Em        Bm       C 
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down  
C                    D 
When they do I'll be right behind you  
Am            Bm 
So glad we've almost made it  
C             D 
So sad they had to fade it  
Am    Bm    C      D 
Everybody wants to rule 
Am    Bm    C      D 
Everybody wants to rule 
Am    Bm    C      D (break) 
Everybody wants to rule  
        Em 
the world
