When angels spoke your name?
D
They said it's you
C Cmaj7 G
Who puts the gravity in the ground
D
They said it's you
C Cmaj7 G
Who all the stars revolve around
E
Scientists were wrong
Am Cmaj7 C D
And you suspected all along it might be true
C Cmaj7 Am D/F# G
The world belongs to you
G C D G
No one escapes the things they've done
C D G
A fate that fits the crime
C D G
You've got a plan for everyone
C D G
Where do you find the time?
D
Because it's you
C Cmaj7 G
Dancing the planets on a string
D C Cmaj7 G
And it's you who's got to handle everything
E
There'll be hell to pay
Am Cmaj7 C D
Unless we all behave the way you want us to
C Cmaj7 Am D/F# G
The world belongs to you
Em C
From inside these limousines
G D/Bm
The world is looking darker every day
Em C
And you wonder if that means
G D/Bm
That when you close your eyes it goes away
C Cm
It goes away
G C D G
Tie up your loose ends one by one
C D G
Your time is almost through
C D G
Even your angels think you're done
C D G
They roll their eyes at you
D
Because it's you
C Cmaj7 G
Who's getting bigger every day
D
And it's you
C Cmaj7 G
Who's gonna drive them all away
E
As they turn to go
Am Cmaj7 C D
You can forgive them for they know not what they do
