G
Remember when the days were long
C
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
G
Didn't have a care in the world
C D
With mommy and daddy standin' by
G
But "happily ever after" fails
C
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
G
The lawyers dwell on small details
Em C D
Since daddy had to fly
Em Bm Am7
But I know a place where we can go
Em C D
That's still untouched by men
Em Bm Am7
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
Em C D
And the tall grass wave in the wind
G D C
Just lay your head back on the ground
Em Bm Am7
And let your hair fall all around me
G D C
Offer up your best defense
Em Bm Am7
But this is the end
C D G G2 Am7 Em/A Em D5/A C C9 C
This is the end of the innocence
G
O' beautiful, for spacious skies
C
But now those skies are threatening
G
They're beating plowshares into swords
C D
For this tired old man that we elected king
G
Armchair warriors often fail
C
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
G
The lawyers clean up all details
Em C D
Since daddy had to lie
Em Bm Am7
But I know a place where we can go
Em C D
And wash away this sin
Em Bm Am7
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
Em C D
And the tall grass wave in the wind
G D C
Just lay your head back on the ground
Em Bm Am7
And let your hair spill all around me
G D C
Offer up your best defense
Em Bm Am7
But this is the end
C D G G2 Am7 Em/A Em D5/A C C9 C
This is the end of the innocence
G
Who knows how long this will last
C
Now we've come so far, so fast
G
But, somewhere back there in the dust
C D
That same small town in each of us
G
I need to remember this
C
So baby give me just one kiss
G
And let me take a long last look
Em C D
Before we say goodbye
G D C
Just lay your head back on the ground
Em Bm Am7
And let your hair fall all around me
G D C
Offer up your best defense
Em Bm Am7
But this is the end
C D G G2 Am7 Em/A Em D5/A C C9 C
This is the end of the innocence
