          I used to   be    a  king
Dsus4  D                D7(9)/C  G6/B           Em7
        And everything around me turned to gold
Dsus4  D             D7(9)/C  G6/B       Em7
         I thought I had      everything
Dsus4  D              D7(9)/C  G6/B         Em7
        Now I'm left without a hand to hold

     Dm                      Em
But it's alright, I'm ok,    how are you
     Dm                           Em
For what it's worth, I must say, I love you
    Dm                      Em
And in my bed, late at night,  I miss you

         And everything around me turned to rust
Dsus4  D                  D7(9)/C  G6/B        Em7
         It's cos I built my       life on sand
Dsus4  D                  D7(9)/C  G6/B                 Em7
         And I watched it cru.........mble  in  the dust
