[G#]Remember when the days were long

And [C#]rolled beneath a deep blue sky

[G#]Didn't have a care in the world

With [C#]mommy and daddy [D#]standin' by

But [g#]"happily ever after" fails

And we've been [C#]poisoned by these fairy tales

The [G#]lawyers dwell on small details

Since [Fm]daddy [C#]had to [D#]fly

 

Oh, but [Fm]I know a [Cm]place where [A#m]we can [C#]go

[Fm]Still [C#]untouched [D#]by men

[Fm]Sit and [Cm]watch the [A#m]clouds roll [C#]by

And the [Fm]tall grass [C#]waves in [D#]the wind

You can [G#]lay your [D#]head back [C#]on the ground

And [Fm]let your [Cm]hair fall [A#m]all [C#]around me

[G#]Offer [D#]up your [C#]best defense

[Fm]But this is the [Cm]end[A#m]

[C#]This is the [D#]end of the [G#]innocence

[G#]O' beautiful, for spacious skies

[C#]But now those skies are threatening

[G#]They're beating plowshares into swords

For this [C#]tired old man that we [D#]elected king

[G#]Armchair warriors often fail

And we've been [C#]poisoned by these fairy tales

The [G#]lawyers clean up all details

Since [Fm]daddy [C#]had to [D#]lie

 

Oh, but [Fm]I know a [Cm]place where [A#m]we can [C#]go

[Fm]And [C#]wash away [D#]this sin

[Fm]We'll sit and [Cm]watch the [A#m]clouds roll [C#]by

And the [Fm]tall grass [C#]waves in the [D#]wind

Just [G#]lay your [D#]head back on the [C#]ground

And [Fm]let your [Cm]hair spill [A#m]all [C#]around me

[G#]Offer [D#]up your [C#]best defense

[Fm]But this is the [Cm]end[A#m]

[C#]This is the [D#]end of the [G#]innocence

[G#]Who knows how long this will last

[C#]Now we've come so far, so fast

[G#]But, somewhere back there in the dust

[C#]That same small town [D#]in each of us

[G#]I need to remember this

[C#]So baby give me just one kiss

[G#]And let me take a long last look

[Fm]Before we [C#]say [D#]goodbye

 

Just [G#]lay your [D#]head [C#]back on the ground

And [Fm]let your [Cm]hair fall [A#m]all [C#]around me

[G#]Offer [D#]up your [C#]best defense

[Fm]But this is the [Cm]end[A#m]

[C#]This is the [D#]end of the [G#]innocence
