Everybody Wants To Rule The World

by Tears For Fears

Written by: Orzabal, Stanley & Hughes

EVERYBODY WANTS TO RULE THE WORLD Orzabal, Stanley & Hughes Tears For Fears | G / F / | //// | (x4) Note: time signature is actually 12/8. So, each beat is really 1.5 beat. Aesthetically better written as 4/4, that’s all.
