Capo 3rd fret

[no chord]
Ah, ah ah ah, we are children of the world - watching every day go by
[no chord]
Changes my life, changes your life - keeps us all anticipating
[no chord]
Ah, ah ah ah, we are searchers of the truth, every man's a boy deep down
[no chord]                                      Dmaj7
Gotta say it how you mean it - there ain't no easy way


       A           A6           G6/A        Gmaj7/A
Like a bird in the wind, like a tree in the storm
         A           A6             G6/A
Like the breath of a child from the moment he's born
       A         A6           A            G6/A
To the very last day when the curtains are drawn

Bm        F#m        Bm              F#m    Em            A        Dmaj7
Ah, ah ah ah, we are children of the world - asking every question why
     Bm         G6/A
From arrival to survival - just to make it worth the waiting
Bm        F#m        Bm           F#m    Em              A      Dmaj7
Ah, ah ah ah, we are faces in the night - watching every day go by
        Bm               G6/A                         Dmaj7
Changes my life, changes your life - there ain't no easy way

       A            A6            G6/A     Gmaj7/A
In the back of your mind there is always a mark
          A         A6    G6/A
There's a wandering solo alone in the dark
        A         A6       A        G6/A
You can keep it forever or tear it apart
