[Strophe]
           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
[Refrain]
         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
[Strophe]
       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
[Refrain]
         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
[Pont]
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 
[Refrain]
         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
[Outro]
A         C#m           E 
 You will always be the King of the World
