Coldplay é uma banda britânica de rock alternativo fundada em 1996 na Inglaterra pelo vocalista e pianista Chris Martin e o guitarrista Jonny Buckland no University College London. Antes do lançamento do primeiro álbum, Parachutes, a banda gravou e lançou três EP; Safety em 1998, Brothers & Sisters e The Blue Room em 1999. Este último foi o primeiro lançamento da banda por uma grande gravadora, depois de assinar contrato com a Parlophone.

- 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
