[Verse 1]
F    F#              B
 You walk by the magazines
               G#m           C#
Sitting on the rack at the CVS 
         F#               B
One more sad movie star divorce
              G#m                 F
Three hundred died in an airplane wreck
        F#                      B
And you think of all the people suffering
        G#m       C#
And you bury that pain
    F#              B
But you can tell me everything
            G#m          F
And we’ll ride on that wave
             F#
If I was king  of the world

[Chorus]
B
 You’d be my girl
G#m                           C#               F#
   You wouldn’t have to shed  one single tear
              B
Unless you wanted to
         G#m                         F
‘Cause yeah I know what it’s like
             F#
If I was king  of the world
B
 Yeah, girl
G#m                    C#               F#/A#
   We could ride a Greyhound all the way     to the
    B
Galapagos
    G#m                           F F# B G#m C# F# B G#m
And stay for the rest of our lives
F

[Verse 2]
F#                 B
Dad hit you on the hand
         G#m                     C#
Just for holding your chopsticks wrong
          F#                  B
Then your Mom locked you in a shed
          G#m                 F
And Uncle Sam dropped an atom bomb
             F#
But you’re not alone
        B
You can let it go
         G#m        C#
And just weep on my breast
    F#                 B
And cover me with your tenderness
         G#m       F
And that pain will pass
             F#
If I was king  of the world

[Chorus]
B
 You’d be my girl
G#m                           C#               F#
   You wouldn’t have to shed  one single tear
              B
Unless you wanted to
         G#m                         F
‘Cause yeah I know what it’s like
             F#
If I was king  of the world
B
 Yeah, girl
G#m                    C#               F#/A#
   We could ride a Greyhound all the way     to the
    B
Galapagos
    G#m                           F F# B G#m C# F# B G#m
And stay for the rest of our lives

[Bridge]
F#      D#m         G#m
  We are   the small   fish
C# B F#       D#m        G#m C# B
       We swim   together
F#/A#      D#m      G#m
     No Prozac or Valium
C# B           F#/A#     D#m         G#m
   We’ll face     tsunamis together
C# B             F#
    If I was king  of the world

[Chorus]

 You’d be my girl
