G
Remember when the days were long
        C
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
G
Didn't have a care in the world
C                     D
With mommy and daddy standin' by
G
But "happily ever after" fails
C
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
G
The lawyers dwell on small details
Em        C          D
Since daddy had to fly


Em            Bm             Am7
But I know a place where we can go
Em            C               D
That's still untouched by men
Em            Bm            Am7
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
Em            C               D
And the tall grass wave in the wind
       G           D       C
Just lay your head back on the ground
Em            Bm            Am7
And let your hair fall all around me
G      D     C
Offer up your best defense
Em       Bm        Am7
But this is the end
C        D              G         Gsus2   Gmaj   Gsus2   Am7   Em/A   Em   D5/A   C   Cadd9   C   C
This is the end of the innocence


G
O' beautiful, for spacious skies
C
But now those skies are threatening
    G
They're beating plowshares into swords
     C             D
For this tired old man that we elected king
G
Armchair warriors often fail
            C
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
   G
The lawyers clean up all details
Em    C        D
Since daddy had to lie


Em            Bm             Am7
But I know a place where we can go
Em            C               D
And wash away this sin
Em            Bm            Am7
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
Em            C               D
And the tall grass wave in the wind
       G           D       C
Just lay your head back on the ground
Em            Bm            Am7
And let your hair spill all around me
G      D     C
Offer up your best defense
Em       Bm        Am7
But this is the end
C        D              G         Gsus2   Gmaj   Gsus2   Am7   Em/A   Em   D5/A   C   Cadd9   C   C
This is the end of the innocence



G
Who knows how long this will last
C
Now we've come so far, so fast
G
But, somewhere back there in the dust
C        D
That same small town in each of us
G
I need to remember this
C
So baby give me just one kiss
G
And let me take a long last look
Em     C      D 
Before we say goodbye


       G           D       C
Just lay your head back on the ground
Em            Bm            Am7
And let your hair fall all around me
G      D     C
Offer up your best defense
Em       Bm        Am7
But this is the end
C        D              G         Gsus2   Gmaj   Gsus2   Am7   Em/A   Em   D5/A   C   Cadd9   C   C
This is the end of the innocence
