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.

[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
C - D - G - Em (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 BmEm That was when I ruled the world
[Instrumental] C - D - G - Em (x2)
[Verse 1] 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 BmEm But that was when I ruled the world
[Instrumental] CEm (x2) CEmD
[Bridge] C - D - G - Em (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 BmEm But that was when I ruled the world
[Outro]
