E F#m11 Asus2 Bsus4 x2

[Verse 1]
E                       F#m11
 I've seen the rainbow above the
                   Asus2     Bsus4
 clouds on the skyline of Rio.
E                      F#m11
 I've tasted beers and oysters right
        Asus2
 on the bay of San Francisco.
E              F#m11
 When I was in Rome I tossed
      Asus2              Bsus4
 a penny into the Trevi.
E                      F#m11
 But I'm sure I left a piece of
               Asus2
 my heart down under, in Sydney.

 Oooooh ooh oooooh x2

[Verse 2]
E                        F#m11
 I learn that cheese and wine
              Asus2
 are cheap in France,
                     Bsus4
 not like in Jakarta.
E                        F#m11
 I fell in love with the fallen
                   Asus2
 leaves in Central Park,
 New York!
E                        F#m11
 I've sailed all the way down
              Asus2
 south of the earth,
              Bsus4
 to Antartica.
E                  F#m11
 But somehow now I end up
         Asus2
 in the heart of Nebraska.

[Chorus]
E              F#m11
 I want you to know that
              Asus2
 none of this matters
E              F#m11
 I've seen the world and
        Asus2
 it has opened up my eyes
E                   F#m11
 If this world will end then
      Asus2
 I believe I'll be alright
           E               F#m11
'Coz this world's not mine,
(no)
      Asus2
This world's not mine, you are

 You are, you are my world,
     Asus2   Bsus2
 you are

 You are, you are my world,
     Asus2
