      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

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
