Capo 4
[Verse 1]
You walk by the magazines sitting on the rack at the CVS
One more sad movie star divorce, three hundred died in an airplane wreck
And you think of all the people suffering and you bury that pain
But you can tell me everything and we’ll ride on that wave
[Chorus 1]
If I was king of the world, you’d be my girl, you wouldn’t have to shed one single
Tear unless you wanted to, ’cause yeah I know what it’s like
If I was king of the world, yeah girl, we could ride a Greyhound all the
[D/F#]Way to the Galapagos, stay for the rest of our lives
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa
[Verse 2]
Dad hit you on the hand just for holding your chopsticks wrong
Then your mom locked you in a shed and Uncle Sam dropped an atom bomb
But you’re not alone, you can let it go and just weep on my breast
And cover me with your tenderness and that pain will pass
[Chorus 2]
If I was king of the world, you’d be my girl, you wouldn’t have to shed one single
Tear unless you wanted to, ’cause yeah I know what it’s like
If I was king of the world, yeah girl, we could ride a Greyhound all the
[D/F#]Way to the Galapagos, stay for the rest of our lives
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa
We are the small fish
We swim together
No Prozac or Valium, we’ll
Face tsunamis together
[Chorus 3]
If I was king of the world, you’d be my girl, you wouldn’t have to shed one single
Tear unless you wanted to, ’cause yeah I know what it’s like
If I was king of the world, yeah girl, we could ride a Greyhound all the
[D/F#]Way to the Galapagos, stay for the rest of our lives
Whoa whoa whoa whoa, whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa-oh-oh-oh, whoa whoa whoa whoa
