Verse 1:
Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C
I set out to rule the world
Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C
with only a paper shield and a wooden sword.
Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C
No mountain dare stand in my way,
Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C
even the oceans tremble in my wake.
Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C
The tide is brave, but always retreats.
Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C
even the sand, it cowers under my feet.
Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C
My kingdom towers above it all,
Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C
while I sleep safe and sound in my cardboard walls.

Now I bear little resemblance to the king I once was.
G Am Em F/C
I bear little resemblance to the king I could become.

Lord, I want to remember how to feel like I did.

So I draw my sword with the morning sun,
Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C
I summon the moon as soon as the day is done.
Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C
The clouds march on, on my command.

Even the rain, it falls according to plan.
Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C
The trees bow down and give their leaves.
Em/C F G/C Em/C F G/C
I humbly accept their offerings of peace.
G/C F G/C

The years wore on and changed my heart,
the leading role for a smaller part.
