Closet Chronicles
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: C
[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
[Outro]
Csus4 C Csus4 F/C C
