Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: G

[Verse 1]
G                  C       G
A boy lives in his early dreams
  C                 Em       C    G
A roofless tomb, a fearless song
         A7                       G
He don't know a thing to keep him faithful
    C                       Am Em G
But faith alone can get you by
 
 
[Verse 2]
G            C      G
But slowly, day-by-day
      C                  Em      C    G
That blissful sleep, it wears away
             A7                       G
And he must steal a dream to keep him faithful
       C                       Am  Em  G
'Cause dreams alone can get you by
 
 
[Chorus]
               Em          C    G
'Cause you're alive without warning
   Am         Em     G
Ah, the shift has come
            Em          C    G
And he must answer without swaying
  Am          Em       G
Ah, when the change is done
 
 
[Verse 3]
G                    C        G
Eyes open now with a sense of self
  C                   Em        C     G
A lustful babe, he applies his wealth
    A7                              G
In untouched air that he's fond of breathing
       C                      Am  Em  G
'Cause life alone can get you by
 
 
[Verse 4]
        G                  C       G
But the more he looks, the more he sees
    C                    Em   C   G
The total view don't come easily
   A7                       G
A landscape scar on his periph'ral
       C                         Am  Em  G
'Cause looks alone won't get you by
 
 
[Chorus]
                 Em   C      G
'Cause you could die without warning
   Am    Em        G
Ah, the shift has come
             Em     C       G
And you must answer without swaying
   Am         Em         G
Ah, when the change is done
 
 
[Verse 5]
     G              C         G
But eventually his eyes were faded
    C                                   Em  C  G
His view will shake and he will pine on days
           A7                                        G
He always knew that is would come, but it still surprises him
     C                        Am  Em  G
How all this time can just go by
 
 
[Chorus]
              Em         C     G
And then he's older without warning
   Am     Em        G
Ah, the shift has come
            Em     C       G
And he must answer without swaying
    Am        Em         G
Ah, when the change is done
 
 
[Chorus]
         Em    C       G
And he's older without warning
Am   Em        G
The shift has come
            Em     C       G
And he must answer without swaying
Am        Em        G
When the change is done
