Csus C Csus C C(add D) Bbmaj7

I used to be a king

C Bbmaj7

And everything around me turned to gold

C Bbmaj7

I thought I had everything

C Bbmaj7

Now I'm left without a hand to hold

Cm Dm7

But it's alright, I'm ok, how are you

Cm Dm7

For what it's worth I must say I love you

Cm Dm7

And in my bed late at night, I miss you

Am F Csus C

Someone is gonna take my heart, no-one is gonna break my heart again

Csus C C(add D) Bbmaj7 Csus C Csus C C(add D) Bbmaj7

Csus C Csus C C(add D) Bbmaj7

I used to be a king

C Bbmaj7

And everything around me turned to rust

C Bbmaj7

It's cos I built my life on sand

C Bbmaj7

And I watched it crumble in the dust

Cm Dm7

Yeah but it's alright, I'm ok, I want to know how you are

Cm Dm7

For what it's worth I must say I loved you as you are

Cm Dm7

In my bed where are you

Am F Csus C

Someone is gonna take my heart, no-one is gonna break my heart again

Csus C C(add D) Bbmaj7 Csus C Csus C C(add D) Bbmaj7

Am F Csus C

Someone is gonna take my heart, no-one is gonna break my heart again

Csus C C(add D) Bbmaj7 Csus C Csus C C(add D) Bbmaj7

Csus C Csus C C(add D) Bbmaj7

I used to be a king

C Bbmaj7

But everything around me turned around

C Bbmaj7

But I know all I have to do is sing

C Bbmaj7

And I'll lift myself way off the ground

Cm Dm7

Yeah, but it's alright, I'm ok, how are you

Cm Dm7

For what it's worth I must say I love you

Cm Dm7

And in my bed late at night God how I miss you

Am F Csus C

Someone is gonna take my heart, no-one is gonna break my heart again
