Under spells awry
                 FAs (133211@1)the fortune appears
            AmIt (x02210@1)begins to die
So I've come here to wait
                  FFor (133211@1)the end of it all
                   AmTill (x02210@1)I'm gone from here

AmChildren (x02210@1)of the grounds
Are making warring sounds
    FFor (133211@1)those outside
     AmWith (x02210@1)no care for time
        F (133211@1)              AmThey're (x02210@1)full of love for life

Where they jump on your back and sing
Leave an imprint on your shoulder blades
      F#mWanna (244222@1)walk away

Where they jump on your back like children
And they leave you none
