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
