Oh the changes
I'd make if
I had the power
How could
I have so much
And be so blind
But at least for
A bright and
Shining moment
I had you, and
The world was mine

Sometimes a man can't see
F#m
When he has it all
A
Take a look at me
E
Oh how he mighty fall
E
Once I ruled the earth
F#m
Once upon a time
A
When I had your love
B E7
When the world was mine
