[F#m] [Bm]
[G] [D] And it was morning, and I [F#m] found myself mourning for [Bm] a childhood that I [G] thought had disappeared.
I [D] looked out the window, and I saw a magpie [F#m] in a rainbow.
[Bm] The rain had gone, I'm not [G] alone.
I turned to the mirror, [E] I saw you, a [D] child that [Bm] once loved.
[E] The child before me broke his heart, [D]
[Bm] that I [E] believed was [D] lost.
Hey [F#m] you, [Bm] surprised, more than [G]
surprised [D] to find the answers to the questions [F#m] were always in your own [Bm] eyes.
Do you realize that you should have [G] gone back to her?
[D] But that would only be replacing [F#m] all the problems that [Bm] you ever knew.
So [G] untrue, [D] for she's got to carry on with [F#m] her life, [Bm] and you've got to carry on [G] with yours.
So [E] I say, [D] catch me, I [Bm] can do anything, [E] I'm still the child.
I'm the only thing that's placed [D] one direction, [Bm] in my direction.
Let me [E] stop time, good man.
Let [D] me stop time, good man.
[Bm]
Cause [E] you are my childhood friend.
Cause you [D] are my childhood [Bm] friend.
Oh, [E] leave me alone.

[F#m] Hey you, you've [Bm] survived.
Now [G] you've arrived.
To [D] be reborn in the shadow of [F#m] the magpie.
[Bm] Now you realize that you've [G] got to get out of here.
You've [D] found the leading light of destiny, burning in [A] the ashes [Bm] of your memory.
[G] You wanna change the world, [D] you've resigned yourself to die a broken [F#m] reverend.
But [Bm] that was looking [G] backward, now you've found the light.
[E] You, [D] the child [Bm] that once loved.
[E] The child before the throne, his heart.
[D]
[Bm] [E]
So it's me, [D] I see, [Bm] I am the winner there.
[E]
Cause the only thing that's placed one [D] direction, in my [Bm] direction.
There is [E] no child who's dead, [D]
there's no child [Bm] [E]
who's hurting.
[D] I'm trying to [Bm] stay.
