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...'
