Band/Artist: Boyce Avenue Title: Viva La Vida Chords by: VALERA, CHARLIE EDSEL AYUNON
F#m      D        E
I used to rule the world 

           A                    F#m
Seas would rise when I gave the word 

                     D       E
Now in the morning I sleep alone 

          A                 F#m
Sweep the streets I used to own

F#m      D         E
I used to roll the dice 

          A                 F#m
Feel the fear in my enemy's eyes 

              D            E
Listen as the crowd would sing: 

          A                 F#m
"Now the old king is dead! Long live the king!"

        D        E
One minute I held the key 

         A                    F#m
Next the walls were closed on me 

                          D        E
And I discovered that my castles stand 

     A                    F#m
Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand 

  D              E
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 

A             F#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 

D                E
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield 

   A                 F#m
My missionaries in a foreign field 

D                 E
For some reason I can't explain 

A                     F#m             D      E
Once you go there was never, never an honest word

         C#m              F#m 
That was when I ruled the world 

(F#m)                 D    E
It was the wicked and wild wind 

              A               F#m
Blew down the doors to let me in. 

                          D        E
Shattered windows and the sound of drums 

       A                     F#m
People couldn't believe what I'd become

(F#m)    D      E
Revolutionaries wait 

        A               F#m
For my head on a silver plate 

                   D      E
Just a puppet on a lonely string

   A                         F#m
Oh who would ever want to be king? 

  D              E
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 

A             F#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 

D                E
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield 

   A                 F#m
My missionaries in a foreign field 

D                 E
For some reason I can't explain 

  A                     F#m              
I know Saint Peter will call my name 

   D            E 
never an honest word

              C#m              F#m 
But that was when I ruled the world  

  D              E
I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing 

A             F#m
Roman Cavalry choirs are singing 

D                E
Be my mirror, my sword, and shield 

   A                 F#m
My missionaries in a foreign field 

D                 E
For some reason I can't explain 

  A                     F#m              
I know Saint Peter will call my name

   D            E 
never an honest word

              C#m               F#m 
But that was when I ruled the world
