THE KING
 
Intro:        |  Am  |  C  |  F  |  E  |
 
Verse:
           Am                                     C
In this town, I used to be the king here,
                                        F                                    E
Now I don't mean a thing here, Where did it all go wrong?
           Am                                               C
I look around, and noone knows my face here,
                       F                                          E
I feel so out of place here, Where did all go wrong?
                Am                                                 C
I say your name, And I wonder where you are now,
                               F                                               E
I hope you're doing fine, Well I hope that you found love...
 
Pre-Chorus:      |  Am  |  C  |  Em  |  Am  |
 |  E  |
 
Chorus:
                             Am                           F
I've been thinking of you, every waking hour,
                      C                                              E
Staring at the wall, trying to find the nerve to call...
                                       Am                                       F
Look at your photo and I wonder, Are you still on this number?
                           C
   E
But In my heart I know, You changed that number long ago
 
Post-Chorus:      |  Am  |  C  |  F  |  E  |
             Am                                             C
We said goodbye, You begged me not to leave you,
                        F                                                  E
I didn't want to leave you, but you know I had to go...
                      Am                                                        C
I said look for me, when the spring sun shines on the street,
                                                F
       E
Where we'd meet and plan our future, But I never made it home...
          Am                                         C
I turn around, head on over to your street yeh,
                                          F
              E
Just in case you might still be there, but now they've pulled it down...
 
Pre-Chorus:        |  Am  |  C  |  Em  |  Am  |
 |  E  |
 
Chorus:
                            Am                            F
I've been thinking of you, every waking hour,
                      C                                               E
Staring at the wall, trying to find the nerve to call...
                                       Am
F
Look at your photo and I wonder, Are you still on this number?
                           C
    E
But In my heart I know, You changed that number long ago,
                                            Am
Nowhere is home, and I feel old,
                                                    F
My clothes are worn, My heart is cold,
                                              C
But with you my heart would sing,
                              E
With you I was The King,
                               Am
But now my story's done,
                  C            F
Now I'm no one...
                              E
But once I was The King
 
 
Tadaaah!! In your face Kristian!

I think the last few bars should be: Nowhere is home, and I feel old [F] Myclothes are worn, My heart (C) is cold [Dm] With you I was (F) The King [C] But with you my heart (Am) would sing [E] But now my story's done [F] Now I'm no one [E] But once I was The King [Am]

the chords are mostly right but the positioning with the lyrics is waaaayyy off.
