Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[C][Bb][Dm][F][C][Dm][C][Dm]
[F][C]
I used to be [Bb]a King

[Verse 1]
[F][Dm]
[C]and everything around me tur[F]ned to gol[Dm]d[C]
I thought I [Dm]had everything [C]and
now I'm left without a [Dm]hand to hold
[Cm]But it's all right I'm O.K. [Dm]How are you
For [Cm]what it's worth I must
say [Dm]I loved you

[Verse 2]
[Cm]And in my bed late at night,
[Dm]I miss you
[Am]Someone is going to take my heart
But [F]no one is going to break
my heart [C]again[Dm][C][Dm][C]
I used to [F]be a King [Dm]and [C]everything
around [Dm]me turned [C]to rust
It's 'cause I built [Bb]my

[Verse 3]
[Dm]life [C]on sand
And I watched it crumble [Dm]in the dust
[Cm]But it's all right I'm O.K. and I
[Dm]want to know how you are
For [Cm]what it's worth I must say
[Dm]I loved you as you are

[Verse 4]
[Cm]And in my bed [Dm]where are you
[Am]Someone is going to take my heart
But [F]no one is going to break my heart [C]again[Dm][C][F][Dm][Cm]
[Dm][Cm][Dm][Cm][Dm]
[Am][F][C][Dm][C]
[F][Dm][C]
I used to [Dm]be a King [C]and everything
around me [Dm]turned around[C]

[Verse 5]
But I know all [F]I have to [Dm]do is [C]sing
And I'll life myself [F]way
[Dm]off the [F]ground
[Cm]But it's all right I'm [Dm]O.K. How are you?
For [Cm]what it's worth I must
say I [Dm]loved you

[Verse 6]
[Cm]And in my bed where a[Dm]re you
[Am]Someone is going to take my heart
But [F]no one is going to break my heart [C]again

[Outro 1]
