[Verse 1]
(This is in 7/4)
        D5    Ab5 G5
And so it went
             D5           Ab5 G5
The children lost their minds
D5             Ab5  G5
Beggin' for forgiveness
    D5               Ab5 G5
Was such a waste of ti---me

[Verse 2]
(Back to 4/4)
         E5         E5*   A5
And the bullets start to fly
 G5      E5      E5*    A5
And the bar's about to break
G5  E5       E5*    A5
Wa--ant to hear the cry
 G5      E5             A5
It's too much for me to take

[Chorus]
               D5
They said the world does
not belong to you
F5      D5
You are not the king,
                F5
I am not the fo-ol
      E5       D5
They said the world does
not belong to you
It don't belong to you
      F5   E5 N.C.
It belongs to me

[Verse 3]
(7/4 again)
          D5    Ab5 G5
And so it went
             D5          Ab5  G5
The children lost their minds
   D5         Ab5  G5   D5
Crawlin' over bodies of those
               Ab5 G5
who gave their li--ives

[Verse 4]
(Back to 4/4)
         E5         E5*  A5
And the fists began to throw
G5      E5    E5*       A5
And the fire starts to blaze
G5 E5              E5*  A5
   Don't you think they know
G5       E5         E5*  A5
That I'm fuckin' human  race?

[Chorus]
               D5
They said the world does
not belong to you
F5      D5
You are not the king,
                F5
I am not the fo-ol
      E5       D5
They said the world does
not belong to you
It don't belong to you
      F5   E5
It belongs to

[Bridge]
(Tempo reduces to 85 bpm)
Dm          C#aug
Everyone is cryin' out,
Am/C              G*
I can hear them scream
Dm                   C#aug
 With all these eyes upon us,
     Am/C            G*
 but no one seems to see
     Dm             C#aug
That you and me are just the
        Am/C            G5
same as God meant it to be
           Dm       F         C
But you're much too close to me
           Dm       F         C C#5
But you're much too close to me-e

And the wind begins to  howl

They said the world does
not belong to you
F5      D5
You are not the king,
                F5
I am not the fo-ol

They said the world does
not belong to you
It don't belong to you
