Viva la Vida
I used to rule [C] the [D] world, seas would [G] rise when I gave the [Em] word
Now in the morning I [C] sleep [D] alone, sweep the [G] streets I used to [Em] own
I used to [C] roll the [D] dice, feel the [G] fear in my enemy's [Em] eyes
Listen as the [C] crowd would [D] sing, "Now the [G] old king is dead! [Em] Long live the
king!"
One minute I [C] held the [D] key, next the [G] walls were closed on [Em] me
And I discovered that my [C] castles [D] stand, upon [G] pillars of salt and [Em] pillars of
sand
I [C] hear Jerusalem [D] bells are ringing, [G] Roman Cavalry [Em] choirs are singing
[C] “Be my mirror, my [D] sword and shield, my [G] missionaries in a [Em] foreign field”
[C] For some reason I [D] can’t explain, [G] once you're gone there was [Em] never,
[C] never an [D] honest word, that was [Bm] when I ruled the [Em] world
It was the wicked and [C] wild [D] wind, blew down the [G] doors to let me [Em] in.
Shattered windows and the [C] sound of [D] drums,
people [G] couldn’t believe what [Em] I’d become
I [C] hear Jerusalem [D] bells are ringing, [G] Roman Cavalry [Em] choirs are singing
[C] “Be my mirror, my [D] sword and shield, my [G] missionaries in a [Em] foreign field”
[C] For some reason I [D] can’t explain, I [G] know Saint Peter won't [Em] call my name,
never an [C] honest [D] word, but that was [Bm] when I ruled the [Em] world
I [C] hear Jerusalem [D] bells are ringing, [G] Roman Cavalry [Em] choirs are singing

But my [Am] breath fogged up the glass and so I [F] drew a new face and I laughed
I [C] guess what I'd be sayin' is there ain't no better reason
To [G] rid yourself of vanities and just go with the seasons
It's [Am] what we aim to do, our [F] name is our virtue
chorus
But [C] I won’t hesi[G]tate no more, no [Am] more It cannot [F] wait I’m sure
