Chords with lyrics

Verse 1:
   Csus4Csus4           C majorC      Csus4Csus4        C majorC
Once carried through the current and being swept away

   Csus4Csus4         C majorC      Bb/FBb/F        FF
The king is in the closet, he's hiding from today

   Csus4Csus4          C majorC        Csus4Csus4           C majorC
And though he owns all fortunes, this room is where he'll stay

     Bb majorBb           A augmentedA          DmDm
And his world is filled with darkness, turning grey


 Esus4Esus4         E MajorE       Esus4Esus4           E MajorE
Gazing out the window of the forty second second floor

    Esus4Esus4         E MajorE         FF    C majorC     G+G
He is separate from all others, no one knocks upon his door

     DmDm         A augmentedA          C majorC          G+G
And it might as well be raining cause the sunlight hurts his eyes

     DmDm         Eb MajorEb           FF
And his ears will never hear the children's cries

Verse 2:
   Csus4Csus4          C majorC      Csus4Csus4           C majorC
Once proud and full of passion, he fought the cause of man

   Csus4Csus4          C majorC       Bb/FBb/F         FF
Many people loved his courage, many followed his command

   Csus4Csus4         C majorC          Csus4Csus4           C majorC
He changed the old into the new and the course of things to come

   Bb majorBb          A augmentedA        DmDm
And then one day they noticed he was gone


  Esus4Esus4         E MajorE     Esus4Esus4         E MajorE
At first it didn't matter, nobody seemed to care

   Esus4Esus4         E MajorE     FF     C majorC   G+G
They all became too busy to find him anywhere

  DmDm         A augmentedA         C majorC         G+G
So no one knew, not even him, the problems he would find

    DmDm          Eb MajorEb        FF
On the day he journeyed deep into his mind

Bridge:
  C/FC/F                Bb/FBb/F
I close my eyes I go far away, away from this battlefield

 Absus2Absus2           Ebm/Gb
In my dreams, well, here I will enjoy it

    Fsus4Fsus4           FF          Db/F
Where innocence plays with all the laughing children

   Eb7/Gb                GbM7
The kind who are crying right now

  C/FC/F                  Bb/FBb/F
A augmentedA taste of freedom from the pain of everything here I see

 Absus2Absus2           Ebm/Gb
Life is sweet but I took it all for granted

   Fsus4Fsus4           FF      Db/F
And now I don't know if I can ever tell you

   Eb7/Gb              GbM7
Just what we permit, we allow


  F minorFm       DbDb          AbAb
Allow me to forget the life I've made my own

         C minorCm       DbDb          AbAb
I've held this nation in my hand and yet it's not my home

  F minorFm         DbDb        AbAb
Allow me just one answer and one reason why

      C minorCm        DbDb     Eb MajorEb              Eb MajorEb
Why this refugee of the family of man must die, tell me why

Verse 3:
 Csus4Csus4            C majorC        Csus4Csus4             C majorC
Daydreams filled his nighttimes and night dreams filled his days

  Csus4Csus4        C majorC       Bb/FBb/F         FF
Confusion and uncertainty, a puzzled mind of haze

   Csus4Csus4          C majorC       Csus4Csus4        C majorC
You thought he was so powerful and set upon his ways

     Bb majorBb         A augmentedA          DmDm
Well, he left us all to follow through this maze


  Esus4Esus4           E MajorE     Esus4Esus4           E MajorE
I heard the king was dying, I heard the king was dead

   Esus4Esus4           E MajorE        FF    C majorC    G+G
And with him died the chronicles that no one ever read

    DmDm       A augmentedA         C majorC       G+G
The closet's fully empty now, it's occupied by none

   DmDm            Eb MajorEb      FF
I'll draw the drapes, now destiny is done
