The Kingdom

	  		Intro 
Gm Bb Cm7 Dm7 

Verse 
 Gm             Bb 
One of those days 
                     Cm7 
That just comes and goes 
               Dm7 
It's not so special 
 Gm             Bb 
She watches the birds 
                 Cm7 
That rest on a ledge 
              Dm7 
Outside her room 
             Cm7 
The wallpaper old and faded 
  Bb           Gm 
A crack in the window pane 
  Bb             Cm7 
The radio just keeps playing 
  Bb           Eb          Bb 
Playing that same old song. 

Verse 
 Gm              Bb 
She smiles to herself 
                         Cm7 
"they think that i'm strange... 
                     Dm7 
...they say I'm a dreamer 
    Gm              Bb 
...but I don't complain, 
                     Cm7 
Though I don't have much 
            Dm7 
To call my own." 
                  Cm7 
And she's not a movie star, no 
 Bb              Gm 
And she's not a beauty queen 
   Bb                 Cm7 
She'll tell you it doesn't matter 
         Bb            Eb 
'cause she's not the only one 
She says, 

Chorus 
Em          D 
"I know a place 
                  Am            C 
Where I keep the best of things 
Em               D 
I'm not gonna wait 
                   Am      C 
For my piece of heaven. 
 Em               D 
Where there's a road 
                   Am            C 
It leads to the promised land 
 Em              D 
I just turn the key 
The key to the 
  Am 
...kingdom..." 

Refrain 
Gm Bb Cm7 Dm7 

Verse 
Gm                 Bb 
She stares at the page 
           Cm7                   Dm7 
Of a new magazine, the morning papers 
  Gm              Bb 
She walks into town 
                Cm7 
And catches a show 
                      Dm7 
If she can find the time 
                  Cm7 
And she's not a movie star, no 
      Bb           Gm 
And she's not a beauty queen 
         Bb           Cm7 
She'll tell you it doesn't matter 
  Bb                    Eb 
'cause she's not the only one. 
She says, 

Chorus 
Em           D 
"I know a place 
                   Am           C 
Where I keep the best of things 
  Em           D 
I'm not gonna wait 
                  Am       C 
For my piece of heaven 
  Em              D 
Where there's a road 
                    Am          C 
It leads to the promised land 
 Em              D 
I just turn the key 
The key to the 
     Am 
...kingdom..."
