_ Remember when the days were long [Db] and rough beneath the deep blue skies?
[Ab] _ Didn't have a care in the world with mom and daddy [Eb] standing [Ab] by
But happily ever after, facing [Db] with them, poisoned by these fairy [Ab] tales
The lawyers flail, smile, the tales, [Fm] since daddy [Db] had [Eb] to fly _
Oh, but [Fm] I [Cm] know a place [Db] where we can [Fm] go, [Db] still [Eb] untouched by man
_ [Fm] We'll [Cm] sit and watch [Db] the clouds roll by and the [Fm] tall [Db] grass waves [Eb] in the wind
[Ab] You can lay your head [Db] back on the ground, [Fm] let [Cm] your head [Db] fall all around [Ab] me
[Eb] Offer up [Db] your best defense, [Ab] but this is [Eb] the [Db] end
This _ is the _ [Eb] end _ [Ab] of the _ _ innocents _ _

_ Oh, beautiful _ for spacious skies, [Db] but now those skies are [Ab] threatening
_ The beaten plush and sinned [Eb] sword [Db] for this tired old [Ab] man that he elected king
_ Armed child warriors often fail, given poison by [Db] these fairy tales
[Ab] The lawyers clean up all the tales, [Fm] since daddy [Db] had [Eb] to lie
[Fm] Oh, but I [Eb] know a place [Db] where we can go, [Fm] _ [Db] wash away [Eb] this sin
_ [Fm] We'll [Eb] sit and watch [Db] the clouds roll by [Fm] and the tall [Db] grass waves [Eb] in the wind
[Ab] Just lay [Eb] your head [Db] back on the [Fm] ground, let your [Eb] head spill [Db] all around [Ab] me
Offer [Eb] up [Db] your best [Ab] defense, but this is [Eb] the [Db] end
This _ is the _ [Eb] end _ of the [Ab] innocents _ _ _ _

Well, [Fm] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ [Db] _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ who knows how long this will last
_ Now we've [Db] gone so far so [Ab] fast
Somewhere back there in the dust
[Db] That [Ab] same small town [Eb] and each of us
[Ab] I need to remember this
[Db] [Ab] So baby give me just one kiss
_ Let me take one last look [Fm] before [Db] we say [Eb] goodbye _ _
[Ab] Just lay your [Eb] head [Db] back on the ground, [Fm] let [Cm] your head [Db] fall all around [Ab] me
[Eb] Offer up [Db] your best defense, [Ab] but this is [Eb] the [Db] end _ _
