Biography:
Australian new wave band Icehouse was formed in 1977, initially called 'Flowers', by Iva Davies (born Ivor Arthur Davies, on 22 May 1955, in Wauchope, New South Wales, Australia). Inspired by art rock and avant-garde pop, Davies was the main creative force behind the band, being a classically trained musician. Band member Keith Welsh joined him on bass. For a number of years they also obtained the services of Bob Kretschmer, until he was replaced by young guitarist Paul Gildea.

[Intro]
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..."
