| 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 | |
| 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 |

| 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 | |
