[Intro]
D G Em A7
D G Em A7
[Verse 1]
D G Em A7
You walk by the magazines sitting on the rack at the CVS
D G Em A7
One more sad movie star divorce, three hundred died in an airplane wreck
D G Em A7
And you think of all the people suffering and you bury that pain
D G Em A7
But you can tell me everything and we’ll ride on that wave
[Chorus 1]
D G Em A7
If I was king of the world, you’d be my girl, you wouldn’t have to shed one single
D G Em A7
Tear unless you wanted to, 'cause yeah I know what it’s like
D G Em A7
If I was king of the world, yeah girl, we could ride a Greyhound all the
D/F# G Em A7
Way to the Galapagos, stay for the rest of our lives
D G Em A7
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa
D G Em A7
Whoa whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa
[Verse 2]
D G Em A7
Dad hit you on the hand just for holding your chopsticks wrong
D G Em A7
Then your mom locked you in a shed and Uncle Sam dropped an atom bomb
D G Em A7
But you’re not alone, you can let it go and just weep on my breast
D G Em A7
And cover me with your tenderness and that pain will pass
[Chorus 2]
D G Em A7
If I was king of the world, you’d be my girl, you wouldn’t have to shed one single
D G Em A7
Tear unless you wanted to, 'cause yeah I know what it’s like
D G Em A7
If I was king of the world, yeah girl, we could ride a Greyhound all the
D/F# G Em A7
Way to the Galapagos, stay for the rest of our lives
D G Em A7
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa
D G Em A7
Whoa whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa
[Bridge]
D Bm Em A7 A7/G
We are the small fish
D Bm Em A7 A7/G
We swim together
D Bm Em A7 A7/G
No Prozac or Valium, we’ll
D Bm Em A7 A7/G
Face tsunamis together
[Chorus 3]
D G Em A7
If I was king of the world, you’d be my girl, you wouldn’t have to shed one single
D G Em A7
Tear unless you wanted to, 'cause yeah I know what it’s like
D G Em A7
If I was king of the world, yeah girl, we could ride a Greyhound all the
D/F# G Em A7
Way to the Galapagos, stay for the rest of our lives
D G Em A7
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa
D G Em A7
Whoa whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa
