Am Em D7

[Verse 1]
G
Make me a king today
Am
Tomorrow I’ll throw it away
C
Cos what use is a crown
D
If she is not around
G
A bed of linen sheets
Am
Is not where you’ll find me asleep
C
A bed of nails will do
D
If I can sleep next to you

[Bridge]
G G/F# Em
You could give me everything
C C/Bb Am
The world at my feet
B7 Em
Still I’d throw it all away
D D7
To be next to her

[Chorus]
G D C D
Don’t wake me up in the morning
G D C D
If its not her that I’m holding
Am Em
She’s not there then I don’t care
D7
And I don’t want to know
G D C D
Can you hear me, Im calling
G D C D
Out your name as im falling
Am Em D7
I could have it all but I’d throw it all away

Just to be next to her

[Instrumental]
C C/Bb Am G Am

[Verse 2]
G
If its money or if its fame
Am
Then I’d pass it all the same
C
No glory that I claim
D
As long as she knows my name
G
Build me an effigy
Am
And I’ll knock it into the sea
C
No deity for me,
D
I worship only she

[Bridge]

The world at my feet

Still I’d throw it all away

Don’t wake me up in the morning
G D C D
If its not her that I’m holding
Am Em
She’s not there then I don’t care
D7
And I don’t want to know

G D C D
Can you hear me, Im calling
G D C D
Out your name as im falling

I could have it all but I’d throw it all away
