D | |
Rem | ember when the days were long |
Gadd9 | |
And | rolled beneath a deep blue sky |
D |
Didn’t have a care in the world |
Gadd9 | A | |
With | mommy and daddy | standing by |
D | |
But | happily ever after fails |
Gadd9 | |
And we’ve been | poisoned by these fairy tales |
D | |
The | lawyers dwell on small details |
Bm | G | A | |
Since | daddy | had to | fly |
Bm7 | F#m7 | Em7 | G6 | |
Ah, but | I know a | place where | we can go |
Bm7 | G | A |
Still unt | ouched by | man |
Bm7 | F#m7 | Em7 | G6 |
We’ll sit and | watch the | clouds roll by |
Bm7 | G | A | |
And the | tall grass | waves in the | wind |
D | A | Gadd9 | |
You can | lay your | head back | on the ground |
Bm7 | F#m7 | Em7 | G6 | |
And | let your | hair fall | all around me |
D | A | Gadd9 |
Offer | up your | best defense |
Bm7 | F#m7 | Em7 |
This is the | end |
Gmaj7 | A | D |
This is the | end of the | innocence |
D | Dsus2 | D | Dsus2 | Dsus4/F# | D/F# | G/B | Bm7/A | A/G | Gadd9 |
D | |
Oh | beautiful for spacious skies |
Gadd9 | |
But | now those skies are threatening |
D |
They’re beating plowshares into swords |
Gadd9 | A | |
For this | tired old man that we e | lected king |
D |
Armchair warriors often fail |
Gadd9 | |
And we’ve been | poisoned by these fairy tales |
D | |
The | lawyers clean up all details |
Bm | G | A | |
Since | daddy | had to | lie |
Bm7 | F#m7 | Em7 | G6 | |
Ah, but | I know a | place where | we can go |
Bm7 | G |
And wash away | this sin |
Bm7 | F#m7 | Em7 | G6 |
We’ll sit and | watch the | clouds roll by |
Bm7 | G | A | |
And | tall grass | waves in the | wind |
D | A | Gadd9 | |
Just | lay your | head back | on the ground |
Bm7 | F#m7 | Em7 | G6 | |
And | let your | hair spill | all aro | und me |
D | A | Gadd9 |
Offer | up your | best defense |
Bm7 | F#m7 | Em7 |
This is the | end |
Gmaj7 | A | D |
This is the | end of the | innocence |
D | Dsus2 | D | Dsus2 | Dsus4/F# | D/F# | G/B | Bm7/A | A/G | Gadd9 |

D |
Who knows how long this will last |
Gadd9 |
Or how we’ve come so far so fast |
D |
But somewhere back there in the dust |
Gadd9 | A | |
That | same small town in | each of us |
D |
I need to remember this |
Gadd9 |
So baby give me just one kiss |
D |
And let me take a long last look |
Bm7 | G | A | |
Be | fore we | say good | bye |
D | A | Gadd9 | |
Just | lay your | head back | on the ground |
Bm7 | F#m7 | Em7 | G6 | |
And | let your | hair fall | all aro | und me |
D | A | Gadd9 |
Offer | up your | best defense |
Bm7 | F#m7 | Em7 |
This is the | end |
Gmaj7 | A | D |
This is the | end of the | innocence |
