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
