[Strophe]
N.C. 
Heaven knows that I'm born too late for these ghosts that I chase 
N.C. 
With these dreams, I inflate, painted skies in my brain 
N.C. 
Every day, I'm Carl Sagan in space 
N.C. 
To escape this old world, this old world 
    F                      E7                        Am 
And some days I lie wide awake 'til the Sun hits my face 
      Am 
And I fade, elevate from the Earth 
     F                        E7 
Far away to a place where I'm free from the weight 
         Am              C 
This old world, this old world
[Pre-Refrain]
F             E7 
I don't trust anything 
   Am        C 
Or anyone, below the Sun 
    F            E7 
And I don't feel anything 
   Am  C 
At all
[Refrain]
                F              E7 
I'm King of the clouds, of the clouds 
      Am            Am 
I get lifted, I get lifted 
            F              E7 
King of the clouds, of the clouds 
      Am            C 
I get lifted, I get lifted
[Instrumentale]
F E7 Am C
[Strophe]
F                           E7 
Some only live to die, I'm alive to fly higher 
     Am 
Than angels in outfields inside of my mind 
      F                          E7 
I'm ascending these ladders, I'm climbin', say goodbye 
         Am              C 
This old world, this old world 
         F                        E7 
And when I fall to rise with stardust in my eyes 
       Am 
In the backbone of matter, I'm combustible 
            F                         E7 
Dust in the fire when I can't sleep a wink, I'm too tired 
         Am              C 
This old world, this old world
[Pre-Refrain]
F             E7 
I don't trust anything 
   Am        C 
Or anyone, below the Sun 
    F            E7 
And I don't feel anything 
   Am  C 
At all
[Refrain]
                F              E7 
I'm King of the clouds, of the clouds 
      Am            Am 
I get lifted, I get lifted 
            F              E7 
King of the clouds, of the clouds 
      Am            C 
I get lifted, I get lifted 
     F                         E7 
Imagination, take me somewhere I don't know 
    Am 
I'm lost but I better find it alone 
            F               E7 
King of the clouds, of the clouds 
      Am            C 
I get lifted, I get lifted 
F        E7 
I keep searching 
Am          C 
Oh, I keep searching 
F       E7        Am  C 
I keep searching
