Fifty years after the fair the picture I have is so clear
Underneath the clouds in the air rose the tyrlon and the perisphere
Em A G D
And that for me was the finest of scenes
Em A G D A G
That perfect world across the river in queens
D A Em Em/F# G
Fifty years after the fair I drink from a different cup
But it does no good to compare 'cause nothing ever measures up
Em A G D
I guess just for a second we thought
Em A G D A G
That all good things would rise to the top
Bm G D
But how beautiful it was - 'tomorrow'
Bm G D A
We'll never have a day of sorrow
Em Em/F# G A
We got through the '30's, but our belts were tight
We conceived of a future with no hope in sight
Em Em/F# C
We've got decades ahead of us to get it right
Em Bb C D G
I swear - fifty years after the fair
D A Em Em/F# G
Fifty years after the fair I live in tomorrow town
Even on a wing and a prayer The future never came around
Em A G D
It hurts to even think of those days
Em A G D A G
The damage we do by the hopes that we raise
