[Verse 1]
         Csus4                      C             Csus4
Once carried through the current and being
            C
swept away
       Csus4              C               Bb/F
The king is in the closet, he's hiding from
    F
today
         Csus4                   C               Csus4
And though he owns all fortunes, this room
                     C
is where he'll stay
              Bb                        A
And his world is filled with darkness,
              Dm
turning grey

Esus4                 E                 Esus4
Gazing out the window of the forty second
            E
second floor
           Esus4                 E
He is separate from all others, no one
F             C          G
knocks upon his door
            Dm                     A
And it might as well be raining cause the
C                         G  
sunlight hurts his eyes
            Dm                   Eb
And his ears will never hear the children's
F
cries

[Verse 2]
         Csus4                  C              Csus4
Once proud and full of passion, he fought
                     C
the cause of man
           Csus4                C                   Bb/F
Many people loved his courage, many followed
               F
his command
        Csus4                 C
He changed the old into the new and the
Csus4                     C
course of things to come
         Bb                          A                  Dm
And then one day they noticed he was gone

     Esus4             E          Esus4
At first it didn't matter, nobody seemed to
E
care
       Esus4                 E         F
They all became too busy to find him
C      G
anywhere
     Dm                       A                      C
So no one knew, not even him, the problems
               G
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
Where innocence plays with all the laughing
Db/F
children
         Eb7/Gb                           GbM7
The kind who are crying right now
    C/F
A taste of freedom from the pain of
Bb/F
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
I've held this nation in my hand and yet
       Ab
it's not my home
    Fm                    Db                               Ab
Allow me just one answer and one reason why
              Cm                  Db           Eb
Why this refugee of the family of man must
                         Eb
die, tell me why

[Instrumental Break]
Eb F Gb Ab Gsus4

[Verse 3]
Csus4                         C                  Csus4
Daydreams filled his nighttimes and night
                          C
dreams filled his days
   Csus4               C               Bb/F
Confusion and uncertainty, a puzzled mind of
   F
haze
         Csus4                   C               Csus4
You thought he was so powerful and set upon
       C
his ways
            Bb                 A
Well, he left us all to follow through this
Dm
maze

    Esus4                    E          Esus4
I heard the king was dying, I heard the king
         E
was dead
      Esus4                       E                 F
And with him died the chronicles that no one
C        G
ever read
         Dm             A                     C  
The closet's fully empty now, it's occupied
       G
by none
        Dm                            Eb             F
I'll draw the drapes, now destiny is done

[Outro]
Csus4 C Csus4 F/C C
