 Em11: 000000 - (Play all strings open)
 Welcome to your life
 There's no turning back
 Even while we sleep
 We will find you
Acting  on your  best behavior
Turn  your back on mother  nature
 F11m [G6] [Em] ([A] - Em11 intro progression)
 Everybody wants to rule the world
 (..continue progression)
 It's my own design
 It's my own remorse
 Help me to decide
 Help me make the
most  of freedom  and of pleasure
Nothing  ever lasts  forever
Everybody  wants  to rule  the..
There's  a room where the light  won't find  you
Holding  hands while the walls  come tumbling  down
When  they do I'll be right  behind  you
So  glad we've almost  made it
So  sad they had  to fade it
 F11m [G6] [Em] ([A] - Em11 intro progression)
 Everybody wants to rule the world
 (Repeat intro progression)
I  can't stand this indecision
Married  with a lack  of vision
Everybody  wants  to rule  the..
Say  that you'll never  never never never need it
One  headline  why believe it?
 F11m [G6] [Em] ([A] - Em11 intro progression)
 Everybody wants to rule the world
All  for freedom and  for pleasure
Nothing  ever lasts  forever
 F11m [G6] [Em] ([A] - Em11 intro progression)
 Everybody wants to rule the world
