Verse

    C
The king he sat in a chair of gold
    F                C
and let life let him be
   (C)
his daughter sat by his side most nights
   F             G
to keep him company
    C                C7   
the wise man and the alchemist
       F                   C
looked over the charts and graphs
G
inconclusive, they're inconclusive
F                   C
hopefully this will pass
    G              F                 C
the jester said, I tried to make him laugh
G,  F

    C
The party was thrown for the king that night
         F                  C
and they tried to raise the dead
   (C)
the golden chair still occupied
   F                  G
by the king's resting head
    C                        C7
the daughter danced with the alchemist
       F                   C
and of course the wise man spoke
    G            
the jester said, hey king 
     F                 C
it's time for a little joke
G              F                 C  
no response, I think the king is broke
G, F

     C
Some weeks had passed and his subjects had
F             C
all but given up
(C)
people were tired of forcing the king
   F               G
to try and live it up
    C                   C7
the morning sun and the alchemist
            F                   C
watched the king make his first move
    G
the king stood up, stretched a bit
      F                   C
said, I've got nothing to prove
G               F              C
listen up, I've got nothing to prove
G, F


    C                   Dm
and I, I just need some time off
            F                    C
I need some time off from all of this
  G    (F)
yeah
    C                   Dm
and I, I just need some time off
            F                    C
I need some time off from all of this
  G    (F)
yeah
