[Verse 1]
Once Csus4carried through the cCurrent and Csus4being swept awCay
The Csus4king is in the clCoset, he's Bb/Fhiding from todFay
And tCsus4hough he owns all fCortunes, this Csus4room is where he'll sCtay
And his wBborld is filled with dAarkness, turning gDmrey
Esus4Gazing out the wEindow of the Esus4forty second second fEloor
He is sEsus4eparate from all Eothers, no one knFocks upCon his dGoor
And it mDmight as well be rAaining cause the sCunlight hurts his Geyes
And his Dmears will never hEbear the children's crFies
[Verse 2]
Once Csus4proud and full of pCassion, he Csus4fought the cause of mCan
Many Csus4people loved his cCourage, many Bb/Ffollowed his commFand
He chCsus4anged the old inCto the new and the Csus4course of things to cCome
And tBbhen one day they nAoticed he was gDmone
At Esus4first it didn't mEatter, nEsus4obody seemed to cEare
They Esus4all became too bEusy to fFind him CanywGhere
So Dmno one knew, not Aeven him, the prCoblems he would fGind
On the Dmday he journeyed dEbeep into his mFind
[Bridge]
I C/Fclose my eyes I go far away, awBb/Fay from this battlefield
Absus2In my dreams, well, Ebm/Gbhere I will enjoy it
Where Fsus4innocence plays with Fall the laughing cDb/Fhildren
The Eb7/Gbkind who are crying right now GbM7
A C/Ftaste of freedom from the pain of Bb/Feverything here I see
Absus2Life is sweet but I Ebm/Gbtook it all for granted
And Fsus4now I don't know if FI can ever Db/Ftell you
Just Eb7/Gbwhat we permit, we allow GbM7
AlFmlow me to forDbget the life I've mAbade my own
I've held this nCmation in my Dbhand and yet it's Abnot my home
AlFmlow me just one Dbanswer and one Abreason why
Why this rCmefugee of the fDbamily of Ebman must die, tell me why Eb

[Verse 3]
Csus4Daydreams filled his nCighttimes and Csus4night dreams filled his dCays
ConCsus4fusion and uncCertainty, a Bb/Fpuzzled mind of hFaze
You tCsus4hought he was so pCowerful and Csus4set upon his wCays
Well, he Bbleft us all to fAollow through this Dmmaze
I Esus4heard the king was dEying, I Esus4heard the king was dEead
And Esus4with him died the chrEonicles that nFo one Cever rGead
The clDmoset's fully Aempty now, it's Coccupied by nGone
I'll Dmdraw the drapes, now dEbestiny is dFone
