   G               
Remember when the days were long
     C 
and rolled beneath a deep blue sky
G
   Didn't have a care in the world
      C                D  
With mommy and daddy standing by
     G
But happily ever after fails
                C
and we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
     G
The lawyers dwell on small details
       Em    C      D 
Since daddy had to fly
       Em7       Bm7        Am7 
Ah but I know a place where we can go
        Em7     C       D
That's still untouched by man
Em7                Bm7       Am7
    We'll sit and watch the clouds go by
         Em7        C       D                   
and the tall grass wave in the wind
         G        D         C
you can lay your head back on the ground
     Em7     Bm7       Am7  
And let your hair fall all around me
G      D       C 
Offer up your best defense
     Em7        Bm7  Am7   C         CM7  D
But this is the end,      This is the en__d
        G             
Of the Innocence

G
  Oh beautiful for spacious skies
     C              
But now those skies are threatening
G
  They're beating plowshares into swords
          C                      D
For this tired old man that we elected king
 G
   Armchair warriors often fail
                C      
And we've been poisoned by these fairytales
G
  The lawyers clean up all details
      Em     C      D
Since daddy had to lie
   Em7       Bm7         Am7
But I know a place where we can go
Em7          C    D
   And wash away the sin
Em7               Bm7       Am7
   We'll sit and watch the clouds go by
         Em         C       D
And the tall grass wave in the wind
         G        D        C
You can lay your head back on the ground
 G        D         C
Let your hair fall all around me
Em7   Bm7     Am7  
Offer up your best defense
    Em7          Bm7  Am7   C         CM7   D
But this is the end,       This is the en___d
        G
Of the Innocence


 G
Who knows how long this will last
   C
Or   how we've come so far so fast
G
  But somewhere back there in the dust
      C                  D
That same small town 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
  Em       C       D
Before we say goodbye
         G        D        C
You can lay your head back on the ground
     G        D         C
And let your hair fall all around me
Em7   Bm7     Am7  
Offer up your best defense
    Em7          Bm7  Am7    C         CM7  D
But this is the end,       This is the en___d
        G
