King Of The World Chords

Capo 5th fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intro

C G C G C G D D

 AtC ten in the mGorning I was lCaughing at sGomething

CAt the aiGrport tDerminal

 At nCine in the eGvening CI was siGtting cCrying to yGou oDver the phone

 WhileC passing the bGorder from a sCtate to anGother

 Filled with pCeople wGhom I couldn't heDlp to relate to

And we stopped a while at a roadside restaurant

Where the waitress was sitting outside smoking in her car

She had that look of total fear in her eyes

And as we drove away from there she looked at me and she smiled

I keep running around, trying to find the ground

But my head is in the stars my feet are in the sky

Well I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl

I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kii--ing of the world

 Interlude backing chords: G C G C G C D D

And once you asked me well what's my biggest fear

That things would always remain so unclear

That one day I'd wake up all alone

With a big family and emptiness deep in my bones

That I would be so blinded, turn a deaf ear

And that my fake laugh would suddenly sound sincere

Now I wasn't born for anything

Wasn't born to say anything

I'm just here now and soon I'll be gone

I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl

I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kiii--ing of the world

Interlude again

Now every day there's a short intermission

While I sleep they start dimming the lights

But I've seen everything I ever want to see

Screaming "FIRE!!" in the theater, people taking their seats

Watch it all go down like the stone in the stream

You fall for your reflection, you drown in the dream

Tell me something real, tell me something true

I just want to feel there's something left that I can do

But I'm nobody's baby, I'm everybody's girl

I'm the queen of nothing, I'm the kiii-ing of the world

[Another interlude, then the song ends with a G]
