You walk by the magazines sitting on the rack at the CVS
DGEmA7
One more sad movie star divorce, three hundred died in an airplane wreck
DGEmA7
And you think of all the people suffering and you bury that pain
DGEmA7
But you can tell me everything and we’ll ride on that wave
Chorus 1DGEmA7
If I was king of the world, you’d be my girl, you wouldn’t have to shed one single
DGEmA7
Tear unless you wanted to, 'cause yeah I know what it’s like
DGEmA7
If I was king of the world, yeah girl, we could ride a Greyhound all the

Way to the Galapagos, stay for the rest of our lives

Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa

Whoa whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Verse 2DGEmA7
Dad hit you on the hand just for holding your chopsticks wrong
DGEmA7
Then your mom locked you in a shed and Uncle Sam dropped an atom bomb
DGEmA7
But you’re not alone, you can let it go and just weep on my breast
DGEmA7
And cover me with your tenderness and that pain will pass
Chorus 2DGEmA7
If I was king of the world, you’d be my girl, you wouldn’t have to shed one single
