I used to be a King
D Em7
And everything around me turned to gold
D Em7
And I thought I had everything
D Em7
Now I'm left without a hand to hold

Dm7 Em7
But it's all right, I'm okay how are you?
Dm7 Em7
And for what it's worth I must say I love you
Dm7 Em7
And in my bed late at night I miss you
Bm7
Someone is gonna take my heart
G Dsus4-D-Dsus4-D Em7
No one is gonna break my heart again

D Em7
I used to be a King
D Em7
And everything around me turned to rust
D Em7
It's cos I built my life on sand
D Em7
And I watched it crumble into dust

Dm7
Yeah but it's all right I'm okay
Em7
I wanna know how you are?

But it's all right, I'm okay how are you?

For what it's worth I must say I love you
