Children Say
Tuning: E A D G B E
Key: A
[Intro]
Asus2 B
Asus2 B D E
[Verse 1]
Asus2
I keep to myself what I might share with others
B
but they don't seem to understand
Asus2
I open my mouth to rediscover
B D E
I don't have the words at my command
Asus2
holding out for a world so much better
B
but I'm a stranger in a stranger's land
Asus2
all my friends have sold out couldn't handle the pressure
B D E
counting their blessings trying to salvage what they can
[Chorus]
C#m7
Children say - children say
Am7 D
we open our minds as one
C#m7
but one more day - slips away
Am7 D
why don't the dreams of the young never come to be
[Verse 2]
Asus2
When I overhear my parents conversations
B
well I'm struck by the things they say
Asus2
it seems they traded the years for mere complications
B D E
who ever thought it could end this way
Asus2
they close the door but they can't lock it
B
'cause something of their childhood remains
Asus2
and they've felt it before when the man in their pocket
B D E
counted the cost of their material gains
[Chorus]
C#m7
Children say - come what may
Am7 D
be strong for the friends you've known
C#m7
but one fine day - (not) far away
Am7 D
will we remember the love we used to own
C#m7
Children say - children say
Am7 D
we open our minds as one
C#m7
but one more day - slips away
Am7 D
why don't the dreams of the young never come to be
[Solo]
Asus2 B
Asus2 B D E
[Verse 3]
Asus2
Well you knew what I was saying but did you know what it meant
B
when you saw that look in my eye did you know it was heaven sent
Asus2
was it all a waking dream all that time we must have spent
B D E
well I guess it must have been somehow that feeling came and went
[Chorus]
C#m7
Children say - come what may
Am7 D
be strong for the friends you've known
C#m7
but one fine day - (not) far away
Am7 D
will we remember the love we used to own
C#m7
Children say - children say
Am7 D
we open our minds as one
C#m7
as one more day - slips away
Am7 D
why don't the dreams of the young never come to be
[Outro]
C#m7 Am7 D
(repeat and fade out)
