C Cmaj7 Am D/F# G 

G           C          D         G 
 Out of the clear blue cloudless skies 
  C       D         G 
A bolt of lightning came 
            C       D      G 
Were you at least a bit surprised 
     C      D          G 
When angels spoke your name? 

               D 
They said it's you 
               C     Cmaj7    G 
Who puts the gravity in the ground 
               D 
They said it's you 
              C     Cmaj7    G 
Who all the stars revolve around 
E 
Scientists were wrong 
           Am    Cmaj7  C                D 
And you suspected all along it might be true 
                     C   Cmaj7 Am D/F# G 
The world belongs to you 

No one escapes the things they've done 
A fate that fits the crime 
You've got a plan for everyone 
Where do you find the time? 

Because it's you 
Dancing the planets on a string 
And it's you who's got to handle everything 
There'll be hell to pay 
Unless we all behave the way you want us to 
The world belongs to you 

Em                        C 
   From inside these limousines 
                     G            D Bm 
The world is looking darker every day 
Em                        C 
   And you wonder if that means 
                         G            D Bm 
That when you close your eyes it goes away 
    C    Cm 
It goes away 

Tie up your loose ends one by one 
Your time is almost through 
Even your angels think you're done 
They roll their eyes at you 

Because it's you 
Who's getting bigger every day 
And it's you 
Who's gonna drive them all away 
As they turn to go 
You can forgive them for they know not what they do 
The world belongs to you
