                 A#m                C#
One night at the disco I wanted to dance slow
              F#maj7             F
I saw a sweet baby, such a fine lady
                   A#m                          C#
And I walked up to ask her, but some dude just grabbed her
              F#maj7                  F
I told him to back off, cut me some slack off
          A#m                       C#
I see you come here, drinkin' that cheap beer
             F#maj7              F
Act like you own it, I can't condone it
               A#m                     C#
You show me no respect, you got to get off it
               F#maj7                F
You got to get with it. Time for a swift kick

Chorus:
           A#m                                C#
You see, I own this town. You best not come around.
                                  F#maj7
If you wanna get by, then cool it down.
                                   F
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I'm king.
                   A#m                                 C#
If you wanna mess around like that, that's just how it is.
                                    F#maj7
If you wanna get by, then mind your biz.
                                   F
If you wanna start something, know one thing: I'm king.

You wanted attention, and did I mention?
Nobody likes you, except for the losers
You made a whole army, an army of babies
Some of them stupid, some of them crazy
Pick up your action, act like a grown man
Look at the winners, you could be like them
Life is so easy, pleasant and dreamy
If you get off me, if you get with me

Chorus

A#m
You can't break me
C#
Never take me
F#maj7               F
That's just how it is
A#m
You can't break me
C#
Never shake me
F#maj7             F
Clear out of my biz

Chorus

I'm king, I'm king
I'm king, I'm king
I'm king, I'm king
I'm king, I'm king
