[Verse 1]
C#m         B           E
It couldn't happen to a better man
                          Fdim
It wouldn't happen with a better plan
                      C#dim   F#m7
While we were napping someone else began
   B                    E
To rule the world with love
            B          E
It didn't happen to us overnight
                               Fdim
Just cause it happened doesn't mean it's right
                        F#m7
To our embarrassment we lost the fight
   B7                  E
To rule the world with love


[Chorus]
Em         A    D       F#
Hearts are won, empires fall
    Em            A
In love with love
D         F#
Love will conquer
Em          A
all for one
D       F#
One for all is fair in
Em           A
love and war
D        F#      B
Love and war are one


[Verse 2]
                        E
It couldn't happen to a nicer guy
                           Fdim    G#dim
You shouldn't ever have to question why
Bm            Em       F#m7
With just the power of suggestion I
      B                   E
Could rule the world with love
C#m       B                E
I need to love you with an iron fist
                   B      Fdim   G#dim
I need to love you with a secret list
Bdim      Ddim              F#m   F#m7
I need to love you 'til you don't exist
    B        B7         E
And rule the world with love

[Verse 3]
C#m          B              E
How could it happen when we couldn't lose?
                              Bdim
And now we're slapping makeup on the bruise
Ddim                        F#m
Though it was handed to us, we refused
   B                   C#m
To rule the world with love
