Intro

 
   

Verse 1

Wish I may, wish I might
Have this I wish tonight
Are you satisfied?
Dig for gold, dig for fame
You dig to make your name
Are you pacified?
 
All the wants you waste 
All the things you've chased 

Chorus

Then it all crashes down 
And you break your crown
 
And you point your finger
But there's no one around 
Just want one thing
Just to play the king 
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
Where's your crown,
King Nothing? 
Where's your crown?

Verse 2

Hot and cold, bought and sold
A heart as hard as gold
Are you satisfied?
Wish I might, wish I may
You wish your life away
Are you pacified?
 
All the wants you waste 
All the things you've chased 

Chorus

Then it all crashes down 
And you break your crown
 
And you point your finger
But there's no one around 
Just want one thing
Just to play the king 
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
Where's your crown,
King Nothing? 
Where's your crown?

Solo

E5 (Bb5 A5)

Verse 3

I wish I may, I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight
I want that star, I want it now
I want it all and I don't care how
Careful what you wish
Careful what you say
Careful what you wish, you may regret it
Careful what you wish, you just might get it

Chorus

Then it all crashes down
And you break your crown
And you point your finger
But there's no one around
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
Where's your crown, King Nothing? 

Outro

Nothing
You're just nothing
Where's your crown, King Nothing? 
You're just nothing
Absolutely nothing
Off to never-never land
