Strum
D-DU-UDU
   You say you hunger  for something  you  can't  get  at all
  Cm9 And love is not G#m enough anymore A
 (chorus)
  FIF I WAS B KING FOR JUST ONE DAY E
 I WOULD A GIVE IT ALL AWAY F
 I WOULD D GIVE IT ALL AWAY E TO BE WITH YOU A6
 IF I WAS KING FOR JUST ONE DAY
 I HAD JUST ONE THING TO SAY
 YOU KNOW THAT LOVE IS
 ALL WE NEED TO GET US THROUGH
 Diamond rings
 And all those things
 They never sparkle like your smile
 And as for fame
 It's just a name
 That only satisfies you for a while
 (REPEAT BRIDGE & CHORUS)
 I've heard it said
 Or maybe read
 Only money makes the world go 'round
 But all the gold
 Won't heal your soul
 If your world should tumble to the ground
 (REPEAT BRIDGE)
 So listen,
 Love is all, love is all, love is all we need (repeat)
 (REPEAT CHORUS TWICE)
 If I was King
 For just one day
 For just one thing to say
 Love...
