Coldplay is a British alternative rock band formed in London in 1996. The band's singer/pianist Chris Martin, guitarist Jonny Buckland, bassist Guy Berryman and drummer Will Champion, met at University College London and came together from 1996 to 1998. During these two years, the band changed names from Pectoralz to Starfish and, finally, to Coldplay. Creative director and former manager Phil Harvey is often referred to as the fifth member by the band.

- Am - FG I used to rule the world
CAm Seas would rise when I gave the word
FG Now in the morning I sleep alone
CAm Sweep the streets I used to own
F - G - C - Am x2
- Am - FG I used to roll the dice
CAm Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes
FG Listen as the crowd would sing:
CAm "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"
- Am - FG One minute I held the key
CAm Next the walls were closed on me
FG And I discovered that my castles stand
CAm Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
FG I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
CAm Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
FG Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
CAm My missionaries in a foreign field
FG For some reason I can't explain
CAmFG Once you go there was never, never an honest word
BmAm That was when I ruled the world
F - G - C - Am x2
- Am - FG It was the wicked and wild wind
CAm Blew down the doors to let me in.
FG Shattered windows and the sound of drums
CAm People couldn't believe what I'd become
- Am - FG Revolutionaries wait
CAm For my head on a silver plate
FG Just a puppet on a lonely string
CAm Oh who would ever want to be king?
FG I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
CAm Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
FG Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
CAm My missionaries in a foreign field
FG For some reason I can't explain
CAm I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
FG never an honest word
BmAm But that was when I ruled the world
F - Am x3
G x2
F - G - C - Am x2
- Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh -
FG I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing
CAm Roman Cavalry choirs are singing
FG Be my mirror, my sword, and shield
CAm My missionaries in a foreign field
FG For some reason I can't explain
CAm I know Saint Peter will call my name ,
FG never an honest word
CAm But that was when I ruled the world
