^FRemember when the days were long and roll^Fed beneath a deep blue sky ^FDidn't have a care in the world With mommy^F and daddy ^Gstanding by But ha^Fppily ever after fails and we've been poisoned^F by these fairy tales The la^Fwyers dwell on small details Since dadd^Amy had t^Fo fly ^G Ah but I k^Dm7now a plac^Em7e where we can^Dm7 go ^Dm7That's still u^Fmaj7ntouched by ma^Gn ^Dm7We'll sit and w^Em7atch the clou^Dm7ds go by and the tal^Dm7l grass wav^Fmaj7e in the wind ^G you can lay ^Fyour head ba^Gck on the grou^Fnd An^Dm7d let your ^Em7hair fall^Dm7 all around me ^FOffer u^Gp your bes^Ft defense But th^Dm7is is the e^Em7nd, ^{Dm7 Fmaj7} This is ^Gthe end Of the Inno^Fcence

^FOh beautiful for spacious skies ^FBut now those skies are threatening ^FThey're beating plowshares into swords ^FFor this tired old man that ^Gwe elected king

^FArmchair warriors often fail And we've been ^Fpoisoned by these fairytales ^FThe lawyers clean up all details Since ^Amdaddy ^Fhad to ^Glie But I ^Dm7know a pla^Em7ce where we ca^Dm7n go ^Dm7And was^Fmaj7h away the sin^G We'll ^Dm7sit and watch t^Em7he clouds go ^Dm7by And the ^Dm7tall grass ^Fmaj7wave in the wi^Gnd You can ^Flay your hea^Gd back on the ^Fground L^Dm7et your ^Em7hair fall ^Dm7all around me Offer ^Fup your^G best defe^Fnse ^Dm7But this is^Em7 the end, ^Dm7 T^Fmaj7his is the e^Gnd Of the I^Fnnocence

^FWho knows how long this will last ^FOr how we've come so far so fast ^FBut somewhere back there in the dust ^FThat same small town in ^Geach of us ^FI need to remember this ^FSo baby give me just one kiss ^FAnd let me take a long last look ^FBefore we say ^Ggoodbye Just ^Flay your h^Gead back ^Fon the ground And l^Dm7et your ^Em7hair fall ^Dm7all around me ^FOffer u^Gp your b^Fest defense ^Dm7But this is the^Em7 end, ^Dm7 T^Fmaj7his is the e^Gnd of the ^FInnocence
