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.

[Verse 1] EmCD 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
[Interlude] CDGEm x2
[Verse 2] EmCD 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!" EmCD 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 GEmCD Once you go there was never, never an honest word GEm That was when I ruled the world
[Interlude] CDGEm x2
[Verse 3] EmCD 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 EmCD 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
[Interlude] CEm x3 D x2 CDGEm x2 (Ohhhhh Ohhh Ohhh)
[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
