[Verse]

Gm                   Eb   F
Look around me all I see
Gm                         Eb  Bb F Gm
Thousands of faces wanting me
Gm                        Eb  F
How can I lead, how can I rule?
Gm                         Eb  Bb F Gm
When I'm the king of the fools

[Between-Verse]

 Eb  F

Gm                          Eb     F
What kind of kingdom has no throne?
Gm                         Eb  Bb F Gm
No crown or castle live I own
Gm                            Eb  F
I don't have silver, gold or jewels
Gm                         Eb  Bb F Gm
Yet I'm a king, king of the fools

[Pre-Chorus]

Eb                              Bb             Gm
And I can't help believin', the world is on my side
      Eb         F          Eb   Bb
No, I can't help believin' in my heart
      Eb                           D                Gm
But I can't stop this feeling that I should run and hide
    Bb                              F                    Gm
So before I die I'll sit and wonder why, oh, I'll wonder why

[Chorus]

             Eb                  F           Gm
King of the fools, who face the world defiantly
Gm          Eb            F                Gm
King of the fools, understanding less than me
Gm          Eb            F                         Gm   Bb  Gm
King of the fools, oh, I'm the king, king of the fools

[Verse]

Gm                             Eb   F
The outside world can't understand
Gm                         Eb  Bb F Gm
Just who we are or what I am
Gm                             Eb   F
Well, we don't want their life or rules
Gm                         Eb  Bb F Gm
I'll be the king, king of the fools

[Chorus]
             Eb                  F           Gm
King of the fools, I proudly rule for all to see
Gm          Eb                     F               Gm
King of the fools, there's nothing else I'd rather be
Gm                 Eb            F               Gm   Bb  Gm
King of the fools, yes I'm the king, king of the fools
Gm          Eb      Gm          Eb
King of the fools, king of the fools

King of the fools, I hear them laugh and shout at me
Gm          Eb                     F               Gm
King of the fools, they shake their heads in disbelief

             Eb                  F                Gm
King of the fools, who are these people to cast stones
Gm          Eb                     F               Gm
King of the fools, better a fool than just a clone
Gm                 Eb            F               Gm   Bb  Gm
King of the fools, yes, I'm the king, king of the fools
Gm          Eb      Gm          Eb
King of the fools, king of the fools
