Verse 1:    Welcome to your life,
                                  
            There's no turning back,
                              
            Even while we sleep,
                         
            We will find you,

                         
Chorus 1:   Acting on your best behaviour,

Verse 2:  ()                  
             It's my own design,
                               
             It's my own remorse,
                              
             Help me to decide,

             Help me make the...


Chorus 2:                  
          ...most of freedom and of pleasure,
                         
             Nothing ever lasts for ever

Bridge 1:    There's a room where the light won't find you,
                                                             
             Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down,
                                         
             When they do I'll be right behind you.

Chorus 3:                
             So glad we've almost made it,
                        
             So sad they had to fade it,
                          
             Everybody wants to rule the world.

Solo:       (although diferent from the song you can just keep playing the
             D to G progession from the intro and verses five or so times to
             take the place of the solo) then:

                             
Chorus 4:   I can't stand this indecision,
                           
            Married with a lack of vision,
                                        ()
            Everybody wants to rule the world.

                           
Chorus 5:   Say that you'll never never never never need it,
                           
            One headline why believe it?,
                         
            Everybody wants to rule the world.

Solo 2:     (Again slightly different from the song but just repeat the 
             D to G progression a few times) then: 

                          
Chorus 6:   All for freedom and for pleasure,
                        
            Nothing ever lasts for ever,
                                        
            Everybody wants to rule the world
