[Verse]
F#m       E
High on a hill
    D      A
The valley below me
    D        A
The blue sky above me
   E            A
My dream was so real
  F#m       E
I could not hear
    D          A
The hum of the highway
       D            A
Or the drums of the foundry
E            A
Pounding out steel


[Chorus]
D           A
Didn't need no money
D           A
Didn't need no time
  D           A
I didn't need nothing
       E            A
But my own piece of mind
A
And to know that
  D            A
A voice like a whisper
   D           A
Is bound to be heard
    D        A
For just one moment
        E           F#m
I'm the king of the world
D            A
Just for one moment
        E           A    E F#m Bm
I'm the king of the world

[Verse]
     F#m      E
So I close my eyes
        D        A
Let the powers defeat me
            D                A
Because the real world can't free me
          E         A
From this dirty old town
          F#m        E
Where the four winds blow
       D           A
I send my troubles rolling
          D               A
Since the world just kept turning
       E         A
I just let it go round


[Chorus]
D           A
Didn't need no money
D           A
Didn't need no time
D             A
I didn't need nothing
       E            A
But my own piece of mind
A
And to know that
D            A
A voice like a whisper
D              A
Is bound to be heard
D            A
Just for one moment
        E           F#m
I'm the king of the world
D            A
Just for one moment
        E           A    E F#m Bm
I'm the king of the world

[Verse]
      F#m         E
See I took it all in
     D          A
Like time takes forever
     D              A
In a dream that you never
  E                 A
Believed would come true
       F#m     E
Then I gave it away
       D      A
I just had to surrender
      D          A
Man I just can't remember
       E       A
When I felt so good


[Chorus]
D           A
Didn't need no money
D           A
Didn't need no time
  D           A
I didn't need nothing
       E            A
But my own piece of mind
A
And to know that
D            A
A voice like a whisper
D              A
Is bound to be heard
D    Dmaj7   Esus4  A
Just for     one    moment
        E           F#m
I'm the king of the world
D    Dmaj7   Esus4  A
Just for     one    moment
        E
I'm the king ...
        E               A    E F#m Bm
I'm the king ... of the world
