The Kingdom

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..."
