Verse 1:
Bb            Gbaug
  Look at you go
           Gm                     Bb7
Walkin' on everyone like steppin' stones
           Eb  Baug
Buildin' a home
           F   F7
Made up of gold
Bb              Gbaug
  Of people you hurt
           Gm                      Bb7
Bridges to Hollywood you took then burned
              Eb
I hope it was worth it
Baug                       F
    What you get, you’ll deserve it

Pre-chorus:
F7   Cm
Easy come, easy go
                                       F
Thought the view from the top would be different
         Cm
And this stone cold bed that you made
                    F
Now you sleep alone in it

Chorus:
Bb               Bb      Gm        Bb7
Baby, you're the king of everything
         Cm
Building castles in the sand
     F7
That crumble in your hands (Oh, oh)
Bb               Bb      G         G G   G
Baby, you're the king of everything
    Cm
And right now you're the man
    F7                Gbdim
But no one gives a damn
Gm         D           Bb      C
  When the rain comes pouring down
   Eb
To wash away your crown
F                          Bb Gbaug Gm F F
You're the king of nothing now

Verse 2:
Bb                 Gbaug
  Look what you've done
         Gm                   Bb7
Takin' advantage of people so young
           Eb       Baug
Ridin' the highroad
              F
On everyone's lows, oh

Pre-chorus:
F7   Cm
Easy come, easy go
                                       F

         Cm
And this stone cold bed that you made

Now you sleep alone in it

Baby, you're the king of everything

And right now you're the man

But no one gives a damn

  When the rain comes pouring down
   Eb
To wash away your crown

You're the king of nothing (now)
