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