[Verse 1]
(Cmaj7)                          (Bmaj7)
Heaven knows that I'm born too late
                        (Emin)
For these ghosts that I chase
                     (Emin)/G                         (Cmaj7)
With these dreams, I inflate, painted skies in my brain
                     (Bmaj7)
Every day, I'm Carl Sagan in space
   (Emin)                              (Emin)/G
To escape this old world, this old world
(Cmaj7)                 (Bmaj7)                        (Emin)
Some days I lie wide awake 'til the Sun hits my face
               (Emin)/G
And I fade, elevate from the Earth
    (Cmaj7)                     (Bmaj7)
Far away to a place where I'm free from the weight
         (Emin)              (Emin)/G
This old world, this old world


[Pre-Chorus]
(Cmaj7)         (Bmaj7)
I don't trust anything
   (Emin)        (Emin)/G
Or anyone, below the Sun
    (Cmaj7)        (Bmaj7)
And I don't feel anything
   (Emin)   (Emin)/G
At all


[Chorus]
                (Cmaj7)          (Bmaj7)
I'm King of the clouds, of the clouds
      (Emin)            (Emin)/G
I get lifted, I get lifted
            (Cmaj7)          (Bmaj7)
King of the clouds, of the clouds
      (Emin)            (Emin)/G
I get lifted, I get lifted

[Instrumental]
(Cmaj7)  (Bmaj7)  (Emin)  (Emin)/G

[Verse 2]
(Cmaj7)                       (Bmaj7)
Some only live to die, I'm alive to fly higher
      (Emin)                    (Emin)/G
Than angels in outfields inside of my mind
       (Cmaj7)                     (Bmaj7)
I'm ascendin' these ladders, I'm climbin', say goodbye
         (Emin)               (Emin)/G
This old world, this old world
         (Cmaj7)                (Bmaj7)
And when I fall to rise with stardust in my eyes
       (Emin)                      (Emin)/G
In the backbone of matter, I'm combustible
            (Cmaj7)                     (Bmaj7)
Dust in the fire when I can't sleep, awake, I'm too tired
         (Emin)              (Emin)/G
This old world, this old world


[Pre-Chorus]
(Cmaj7)         (Bmaj7)
I don't trust anything
   (Emin)        (Emin)/G
Or anyone, below the Sun
    (Cmaj7)        (Bmaj7)
And I don't feel anything
   (Emin)
At all


[Chorus]
    B    (Bmaj7)  Gaug  (Cmaj7)           (Bmaj7)
I'm King of the clouds, of the clouds
      (Emin)            (Emin)/G
I get lifted, I get lifted
             (Cmaj7)          (Bmaj7)
King of the clouds, of the clouds
      (Emin)            (Emin)/G
I get lifted, I get lifted
      (Cmaj7)                    (Bmaj7)
Imagination, take me somewhere I don't know
    (Emin)                     (Emin)/G
I'm lost but I better find it alone
            (Cmaj7)          (Bmaj7)
King of the clouds, of the clouds
      (Emin)            (Emin)/G
I get lifted, I get lifted


[Outro]
(Cmaj7)  (Bmaj7)
I keep searching
(Emin)         (Emin)/G
Oh, I keep searching
(Cmaj7)  (Bmaj7)
I keep searching
(Emin)  (Emin)/G
