The Kingdom Icehouse
[Intro]
[Gm] [Bb] [Cm7] [Dm7]
[Verse]
O[Gm]ne of those day[Bb]s
That just comes and g[Cm7]oes
It's not so spe[Dm7]cial
S[Gm]he watches the [Bb]birds
That rest on a le[Cm7]dge
Outside her ro[Dm7]om
The wallpaper[Cm7] old and faded
A [Bb]crack in the [Gm]window pane
Th[Bb]e radio just ke[Cm7]eps playing
Pl[Bb]aying that sa[Eb]me old song.[Bb]
[Verse]
S[Gm]he smiles to her[Bb]self
"they think that i'm stra[Cm7]nge...
...they say I'm a dre[Dm7]amer
...b[Gm]ut I don't compl[Bb]ain,
Though I don't have m[Cm7]uch
To call my o[Dm7]wn."
And she's not a mo[Cm7]vie star, no
A[Bb]nd she's not a b[Gm]eauty queen
She[Bb]'ll tell you it doe[Cm7]sn't matter
'cause sh[Bb]e's not the on[Eb]ly one
She says,
[Cborus]
[Em]"I know a pl[D]ace
Where I keep the b[Am]est of things[C]
[Em]I'm not gonna wai[D]t
For my piece of hea[Am]ven.[C]
W[Em]here there's a ro[D]ad
It leads to the pro[Am]mised land[C]
I[Em] just turn the k[D]ey
The key to the
..[Am].kingdom..."
[Refrain]
[Gm] [Bb] [Cm7] [Dm7]
[Verse]
[Gm]She stares at the p[Bb]age
Of a new ma[Cm7]gazine, the morning pa[Dm7]pers
Sh[Gm]e walks into tow[Bb]n
And catches a sh[Cm7]ow
If she can find the ti[Dm7]me
And she's not a mo[Cm7]vie star, no
And sh[Bb]e's not a bea[Gm]uty queen
She'll te[Bb]ll you it doe[Cm7]sn't matter
'c[Bb]ause she's not the onl[Eb]y one.
She says,
[Cborus]
[Em]"I know a pla[D]ce
Where I keep the be[Am]st of things[C]
I'[Em]m not gonna w[D]ait
For my piece of he[Am]aven[C]
Wh[Em]ere there's a ro[D]ad
It leads to the prom[Am]ised land[C]
I[Em] just turn the k[D]ey
The key to the
...ki[Am]ngdom..."
