[Verse 1]
Cmaj7 G
When I was a child I dreamed like a child of wonder
C G
with my back to the grass, my eyes to the sky to see
F C G
I believed in the stars, I knew they cast a spell that I was under
F C
With my fingers in the dirt, I was part of the earth
D
Every living thing was part of me
G
But it's gone
D
It's gone
Em
It's gone
Cm
it's gone gone
[Chorus]
G C G C
I can't feel it, I can't feel it
G C
Must have gone away out my back door
G C
Must have gone away out my back door
G D C G
because it's gone gone gone
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7 G
Then I fell in love, love gave me a shot of pure desire
Cmaj7 G
There was nothing else like this, this unimagined bliss, this ecstasy
F C G
Deep inside the night, I believed I saw the light ignite a fire
F C
And it burned into the dark, it burned deep inside my heart,
D
I thought it would burn eternally
G
But it's gone
D
It's gone
Em
It's gone
Cm
it's gone gone
[Chorus]
G C G C
I can't feel it, I can't feel it
G C
Must have gone away out my back door
G C
Must have gone away out my back door
G D C (G)
because it's gone gone gone
[Bridge]
Em C
So I run into the street
Em C
And I'm shouting into the phone asking everyone I meet
Em C
I say "Have you seen it on my doorstep did you see it in my car?
Em C
Have you seen it in the alley? Was it on the back of some guitar?
Em C
Is it sleeping in the hallway? Does it cry all night alone?
Em
Is it selling itself for money?
C D C
Does it want, does it want to come home?
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7 G
Then I saw the world, wounded deep and curled up on my sidewalk
Cmaj7 G
With the mouths all white and pale, telling all their tales reality
F C G
So I picked up a sign, and I found a place in line and I shouted no talk
F C
The men all painted proud, their words empty and loud
D
Are trying hard to sell my dream
G
They tell me it's gone,
D
they say it's gone
Em
They say it's,
Cm
it's gone
[Chorus]
G C G C
Oh, but I can feel it, oh, I wanna feel it
G C
I can't let it run away out my back door
G C
I can't let it run away out my back door
[Outro]
G C G C G
Lord, if I look out there, if I look out there, every da-a- ay
C G C G
I can't let it run away, I can't let it run away,
C G C
Oh if I look out there, every da-a-y!
G C G C G C
G G C C G
