Closet Chronicles Chords

[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

[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
