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.

CD I used to rule the world GEm Seas would rise when I gave the word CD Now in the morning I sleep alone GEm Sweep the streets I used to own

CD I used to roll the dice GEm Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes CD Listen as the crowd would sing GEm "Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!" CD One minute I held the key GEm Next the walls were closed on me CD And I discovered that my castles stand GEm Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand
[Chorus]
CD I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing GEm Roman Cavalry choirs are singing CD Be my mirror, my sword and shield GEm My missionaries in a foreign field CD For some reason I can't explain GEm Once you go there was never CD Never an honest word GEm And that was when I ruled the world
[Instrumental]

CD It was the wicked and wild wind GEm Blew down the doors to let me in CD Shattered windows and the sound of drums GEm People couldn't believe what I'd become CD Revolutionaries wait GEm For my head on a silver plate CD Just a puppet on a lonely string GEm Oh who would ever want to be king?
[Chorus]
CD I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing GEm Roman Cavalry choirs are singing CD Be my mirror, my sword and shield GEm My missionaries in a foreign field CD For some reason I can't explain GEm I know Saint Peter won't call my name CD Never an honest word GEm But that was when I ruled the world
CD I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing GEm Roman Cavalry choirs are singing CD Be my mirror, my sword and shield GEm My missionaries in a foreign field CD For some reason I can't explain GEm I know Saint Peter won't call my name CD Never an honest word GEm But that was when I ruled the world
