Coldplay es una banda británica de estilo Britpop/Rock alternativo. Se formó en 1998, y es conocida por sus letras suaves e introspectivas.
Los miembros de Coldplay se conocieron en la Universidad de Londres en septiembre de 1996. Primero se juntaron Martin y Buckland, y ya para el 8 de enero de 1998, Coldplay completó su formación, al unirse Will Champion. Él sabía tocar el piano, la guitarra y el bajo, y aunque no sabía tocar la batería, aprendió rápidamente.

- 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
