From "Something Beautiful" (2004)

(Alan Doyle)

(G)Wake up, with(D)out a care

Your (C)head's not heavy, (D)conscience clear

(G)Sins are all for(D)given here, (C)yours and mi(D)ne

(G)Fear has gone with(D)out a trace

It's the (C)perfect time, it's the (D)perfect place

(G)Nothing hurting, Nothing sore, (D)No one suffers anymore,

The (C)doctor's found a simple cure, (D)just in time

CHORUS:

(G)All these things if (D)I were King would all (Em)appear around (D)me

The (G)world will (C)sing when (D)I am (G)King

The (G)world will (C)sing when (D)I am (G)King

Ah, She (G)walks right in she don't (D)even knock

It's the (C)girl you lost to the (D)high school jock

She (G)shuts the door and (D)turns the lock, and (C)takes your (D)hand

She (G)says she always (D)felt a fool, for (C)picking the Captain (D)over you

She (G)wonders if you miss her, says she (D)always told her sister

That (C)you're the best damn kisser that she's (D)ever had

CHORUS

INSTRUMENTAL: (G) (D) (Em) (D)

(D)Daylight waits to (C)shine until the (G)moment you a(C)waken

(D) So you (C)never miss the (G)dawn (C)

(D) No (C)question, now, you (G)know which road you're (C)taking

(D)Lights all green, the (C)radio plays (G)just the perfect (D)song

INSTRUMENTAL (x2)

Well, the (G)war's been won. All the (D)fights are fought

You (C)find yourself in (D)just the spot

It's a (G)place where every(D)body's got a (C)song to (D)sing

Just (G)like the final (D)movie scene. The (C)prince will find his (D)perfect queen

The (G)hero always saves the world, The (D)villains get what they deserve

The (C)boy will always get the girl (D)When I am King

CHORUS (x2)

The (G)world will (C)sing when (D)I am (G)King
