Closet Chronicles chords by Kansas

Verse 1:
   Csus4           C      Csus4        C
Once carried through the current and being swept away

   Csus4         C      Bb/F        F
The king is in the closet, he's hiding from today

   Csus4          C        Csus4           C
And though he owns all fortunes, this room is where he'll stay

     Bb           A          Dm
And his world is filled with darkness, turning grey


 Esus4         E       Esus4           E
Gazing out the window of the forty second second floor

    Esus4         E         F    C     G
He is separate from all others, no one knocks upon his door

     Dm         A          C          G
And it might as well be raining cause the sunlight hurts his eyes

     Dm         Eb           F
And his ears will never hear the children's cries


Verse 2:
   Csus4          C      Csus4           C
Once proud and full of passion, he fought the cause of man

   Csus4          C       Bb/F         F
Many people loved his courage, many followed his command

   Csus4         C          Csus4           C
He changed the old into the new and the course of things to come

   Bb          A        Dm
And then one day they noticed he was gone


  Esus4         E     Esus4         E
At first it didn't matter, nobody seemed to care

   Esus4         E     F     C   G
They all became too busy to find him anywhere

  Dm         A         C         G
So no one knew, not even him, the problems he would find

    Dm          Eb        F
On the day he journeyed deep into his mind


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

 Absus2           Ebm/Gb
In my dreams, well, here I will enjoy it

    Fsus4           F          Db/F
Where innocence plays with all the laughing children

   Eb7/Gb                GbM7
The kind who are crying right now

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

 Absus2           Ebm/Gb
Life is sweet but I took it all for granted

   Fsus4           F      Db/F
And now I don't know if I can ever tell you

   Eb7/Gb              GbM7
Just what we permit, we allow


  Fm       Db          Ab
Allow me to forget the life I've made my own

         Cm       Db          Ab
I've held this nation in my hand and yet it's not my home

  Fm         Db        Ab
Allow me just one answer and one reason why

      Cm        Db     Eb              Eb
Why this refugee of the family of man must die, tell me why


Instrumental Break:
Eb F Gb  Ab Gsus4

Verse 3:
 Csus4            C        Csus4             C
Daydreams filled his nighttimes and night dreams filled his days

  Csus4        C       Bb/F         F
Confusion and uncertainty, a puzzled mind of haze

   Csus4          C       Csus4        C
You thought he was so powerful and set upon his ways

     Bb         A          Dm
Well, he left us all to follow through this maze


  Esus4           E     Esus4           E
I heard the king was dying, I heard the king was dead

   Esus4           E        F    C    G
And with him died the chronicles that no one ever read

    Dm       A         C       G
The closet's fully empty now, it's occupied by none

   Dm            Eb      F
I'll draw the drapes, now destiny is done
