[C] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ [F] _ _
_ _ _ [C] _ _ _ [Am] _ _
_ _ _ _ [C] _ Such a clever innocence _ with [Am] which you do your [F] _ _ sorcery
[C] As if somehow [Am] your years would bow [Dm] and let that [A] young boy go [G] [C] free
[Dm] Well I thought _ [C] I'd try _ [F] until _ you turned and [C] smiled _ _
[F] _ Thought I'd _ [Em] _ always go away [Dm] until I heard your [G] laughter flowing
[Am] Came upon [F] a wisdom in your [C] _ eyes, _ _ [F] _
[C] _ [G] surprise
_ _ [F] Well _
[C] _ _ _ [Em] _ _ [G] _ _ _
_ [F] _ [C] I spent my whole [F] life running wild
_ [C] _ Chasing [F] songs from town to town
[C] _ Thinking I'd be [Am] free if I just never [Dm] let love [G] slow me
_ _ [F] So lonely [G] and [C] so wild
_ [F] Till you turned [C] and smiled
_ [F] _ Well right now I [Em] should have long been [Dm] gone
But here I am [G] holding _ [Am] on
As [F] if I didn't know there's a [C] way to run _

_ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ [G] _
_ [Em] _ _ _ [G] _ _ _ [C] _
_ Well such a clever _ [Am] innocence _ with which you show [F] me _ _
_ [C] _ As if you knew how it'd [Am] feel to never [Dm] be who [F] you wanted to [G] be
_ _ [F] _ _ [G] [C] Well I thought I'd try _
_ _ [F] until you [C] turned and smiled
[F] Thought _ _ [Em] I'd be free but [Dm] I'm just one more prisoner [G] [Em] of time
[Am] _ Alone within [F] the boundaries of [C] my _ mind _ _ _
_ [G] _ _ _ _ [F] _ _ _
[Em] _ _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _
