A#maj7                         A7
Heaven knows that I'm born too late
                          Dm
For these ghosts that I chase
                     Dm/F                         A#maj7
With these dreams, I inflate, painted skies in my brain
                     A7
Every day, I'm Carl Sagan in space
     Dm                             Dm/F
To escape this old world, this old world
A#maj7                 A7                        Dm
Some days I lie wide awake 'til the Sun hits my face
               Dm/F
And I fade, elevate from the Earth
    A#maj7                     A7
Far away to a place where I'm free from the weight
          Dm              Dm/F
This old world, this old world

A#maj7        A7
I don't trust anything
   Dm        Dm/F
Or anyone, below the Sun
    A#maj7       A7
And I don't feel anything
   Dm Dm/F
At all

Chorus:
                  A#maj7         A7
I'm King of the clouds, of the clouds
       Dm            Dm/F
I get lifted, I get lifted
             A#maj7         A7
King of the clouds, of the clouds
       Dm            Dm/F
I get lifted, I get lifted

Some only live to die, I'm alive to fly higher
Than angels in outfields inside of my mind
I'm ascendin' these ladders, I'm climbin', say goodbye
This old world, this old world
And when I fall to rise with stardust in my eyes
In the backbone of night, I'm combustible
Dust in the fire when I can't sleep a wink, I'm too tired
This old world, this old world

I don't trust anything
Or anyone, below the sun
I don't feel anything
At all

Chorus:
I'm king of the clouds, of the clouds
I get lifted, I get lifted
King of the clouds, of the clouds
I get lifted, I get lifted
Imagination, take me somewhere I don't know
I'm lost but I better find it alone
King of the clouds, of the clouds
I get lifted, I get lifted

I keep searching
Oh, I keep searching
I keep searching
