Five for Fighting – King Of The Earth (Guitar)

C      Bb         F
I'm as crazy as clown tonight

F                Em
a clown without a crown tonight

Am         Dm               G
a simple sack of wishes and bones.

C      Bb         F
I'm as useless as a memory

F                Em
the day before it came to me

Am         Dm               G
to save your time stitches and stones

F              G              C       Em  Am  G
But once in my life I was the king of the earth

F              G
once in my life,

C     F C F
I was.

C          Bb                  F
I've flown horses on the skies above

F               Em
that aint enough for you my love

Am                  Dm           G
to fill these empty castles with ghosts

C          Bb                  F
I've married devils to their history

F               Em
sood where you would bury me

Am                  Dm           G
through a time of statues and rows

F              G              C       Em  Am  G
But once in my life I was the king of the Earth

F              G
Once in my life

C
I was.

Am                                
now that the stars have frozen in their places

F             G          C
all that I've hold seems gone

Em                      Am         D
now that the stars have fallen from their faces

Dm             G
I will see you on

C      Bb         F
I'll never be your picture present

F                Em
but I hope you go the rose I sent

Am         Dm               G
to save your town of stitches and bones

C      Bb         F
I'm nothing more than a simple man

F                Em
born to be american

Am         Dm               G
out to draw these bridges and motes

F              G              C       Em  Am  G
but once in my life I was the king of the Earth

F              G
Once in my life...
