Em C Dsus2 Em C Dsus2 Em
[Verse]
C Dsus2 Em C Dsus2 Em C
Fade away, exploiting our children. When you ignore them, they flow down the river of all your life
Dsus2 Em C Dsus2 Em
Three times you heard them, they begged for a companion for the need to cure their loneliness
[Chorus]
C Dsus2 Em
An innocent child you are, back when, so full of life you were
C Dsus2 Em
Back when, and I saw the aging eyes of wisdom creeping in
C Dsus2 Em
And so you lost it all, back when, as I wrote the news of the war
C Dsus2 Em
Back when, in time never change the way you were back when
[Verse]
C Dsus2 Em C Dsus2 Em C
Behind the wall sinners hide their faces, those with coercive hands bleeding out what little hope remained
Dsus2 Em C Dsus2 Em
For them and still for a moment your innocence cries out for a way
[Chorus]
C Dsus2 Em
An innocent child you are, back when, so full of life you were
C Dsus2 Em
Back when, and I saw the aging eyes of wisdom creeping in
C Dsus2 Em
And so you lost it all, back when, as I wrote the news of the war
C Dsus2 Em
Back when, in time never change the way you were back when
[Break]
C Dsus2 C Dsus2 Em Em Dsus2
C Dsus2 C Dsus2 Em Em Dsus2
Ahhh pain of a thousand sorrows
C Dsus2 C Dsus2 Em
[Verse]
C Dsus2 Em C Dsus2 Em C
Fade away with nothing left to wonder. Left in another's hands, they flow down the river of all your life
Dsus2 Em C Dsus2 Em
Three times again they beg for a companion for the need to cure their loneliness
[Chorus]
C Dsus2 Em
Oh an innocent child you are, back when, so full of life you were
C Dsus2 Em
Back when, and I saw the aging eyes of wisdom creeping in
C Dsus2 Em
And so you lost it all, back when, as I wrote the news of the war
C Dsus2 Em
Back when, in time never change the way you were back when
[Outro]
C Dsus2 C Dsus2 Em
Ahhh ahhh ahhh ahhh
