When I was seventeen I dreamed of being king and

having everything I wanted
A            C#min        A             C#min

When I was seventeen, I dreamed I gave a ring to
A        C#min            Bm - E
A pretty queen and then I held her
A            C#min               A         C#min
But that was slumber's fault for I have no love at all
A       Bm        E       A ? C#min        
And I'm still the King of Nothing

If I could rule

  Eb                         E
I wouldn't have to listen to this poor fool say
