Chords with lyrics
Tuning: G C E A (G C E A)
Verse 1:
Bb A7
Heaven knows that I'm born too late
Dm
For these ghosts that I chase
Dm Bb
With these dreams, I inflate, painted skies in my brain
A7
Every day, I'm Carl Sagan in space
Dm Dm
To escape this old world, this old world
Bb A7 Dm
Some days I lie wide awake 'til the Sun hits my face
Dm
And I fade, elevate from the Earth
Bb A7
Far away to a place where I'm free from the weight
Dm Dm
This old world, this old world
Pre-Chorus:
Bb A7
I don't trust anything
Dm Dm
Or anyone, below the Sun
Bb A7
I don't feel anything
Dm
At all
Chorus:
Bb A7
I'm King of the clouds, of the clouds
Dm Dm
I get lifted, I get lifted
Bb A7
King of the clouds, of the clouds
Dm Dm
I get lifted, I get lifted
Verse 2:
Bb A7
Some only live to die, I'm alive to fly higher
Dm Dm
Than angels in outfields inside of my mind
Bb A7
I'm ascendin' these ladders, I'm climbin', say goodbye
Dm Dm
This old world, this old world
Bb A7
And when I fall to rise with stardust in my eyes
Dm Dm
In the backbone of matter, I'm combustible
Bb A7
Dust in the fire when I can't sleep, awake, I'm too tired
Dm Dm
This old world, this old world
Pre-Chorus:
Bb A7
I don't trust anything
Dm Dm
Or anyone, below the Sun
Bb A7
I don't feel anything
Dm
At all
Chorus:
Bb A7
I'm King of the clouds, of the clouds
Dm Dm
I get lifted, I get lifted
Bb A7
King of the clouds, of the clouds
Dm Dm
I get lifted, I get lifted
Bm A7
Imagination, take me somewhere I don't know
Dm Dm
I'm lost but I better find it alone
Bb A7
King of the clouds, of the clouds
Dm Dm
I get lifted, I get lifted
Outro:
Bb A7
I keep searching
Dm Dm
Oh, I keep searching
Bb A7
I keep searching
Dm
