This is the chord progression of King Of The Clouds by Panic! At the Disco on Piano, Ukulele, Guitar and Keyboard.

[Verse 1]
Bbmaj7                                           A7
Heaven knows that I’m born too late
Dm
For these ghosts that I chase
Dm/F                                                             Bbmaj7
With these dreams, I inflate, painted skies in my brain
A7
Every day, I’m Carl Sagan in space
Dm                                         Dm/F
To escape this old world, this old world
Bbmaj7                                         A7                                         Dm
Some days I lie wide awake ’til the Sun hits my face
Dm/F
And I fade, elevate from the Earth
Bbmaj7                                         A7
Far away to a place where I’m free from the weight
Dm Dm/F
This old world, this old world

[Pre-Chorus]
Bbmaj7 A7
I don’t trust anything
Dm Dm/F
Or anyone, below the Sun
Bbmaj7 A7
And I don’t feel anything
Dm Dm/F
At all

[Chorus]
Bbmaj7 A7
I’m King of the clouds, of the clouds
Dm Dm/F
I get lifted, I get lifted
Bbmaj7 A7
King of the clouds, of the clouds
Dm Dm/F
I get lifted, I get lifted

[Instrumental]
Bbmaj7 A7 Dm Dm/F

[Verse 2]
Bbmaj7 A7
Some only live to die, I’m alive to fly higher
Dm Dm/F
Than angels in outfields inside of my mind
Bbmaj7 A7
I’m ascendin’ these ladders, I’m climbin’, say goodbye
Dm Dm/F
This old world, this old world
Bbmaj7 A7
And when I fall to rise with stardust in my eyes
Dm Dm/F
In the backbone of matter, I’m combustible
Bbmaj7 A7
Dust in the fire when I can’t sleep, awake, I’m too tired
Dm Dm/F
This old world, this old world

[Pre-Chorus]
Bbmaj7 A7
I don’t trust anything
Dm Dm/F
Or anyone, below the Sun
Bbmaj7 A7
And I don’t feel anything
Dm
At all

[Chorus]
A A7 Faug Bbmaj7 A7
I’m King of the clouds, of the clouds
Dm Dm/F
I get lifted, I get lifted
Bbmaj7 A7
King of the clouds, of the clouds
Dm Dm/F
I get lifted, I get lifted
Bbmaj7 A7
Imagination, take me somewhere I don’t know
Dm Dm/F
I’m lost but I better find it alone
Bbmaj7 A7
King of the clouds, of the clouds
Dm Dm/F
I get lifted, I get lifted

[Outro]
Bbmaj7 A7
I keep searching
Dm Dm/F
Oh, I keep searching
Bbmaj7 A7
I keep searching
Dm Dm/F
