Capo First Fret G5 Remember when the days were long C5 and rolled beneath a deep blue sky G5 Didn't have a care in the world C5 D5 With mommy and daddy standing by G5 But happily ever after fails C5 and we've been poisoned by these fairy tales G5 The lawyers dwell on small details E5 C5 D5 Since daddy had to fly E5 B5 A5 Ah but I know a place where we can go E5 C5 D5 That's still untouched by man E5 B5 A5 We'll sit and watch the clouds go by E5 C5 D5 and the tall grass wave in the wind G5 D5 C5 you can lay your head back on the ground E5 B5 A5 And let your hair fall all around me G5 D5 C5 Offer up your best defense E5 B5 A5 C5 D5 But this is the end, This is the end G5 Of the Innocence Repeat Intro Oh beautiful for spacious skies But now those skies are threatening They're beating plowshares into swords For this tired old man that we elected king Armchair warriors often fail And we've been poisoned by these fairytales The lawyers clean up all details Since daddy had to lie But I know a place where we can go And wash away the sin We'll sit and watch the clouds go by And the tall grass wave in the wind You can lay your head back on the ground Let your hair fall all around me Offer up your best defense But this is the end, This is the end Of the Innocence Who knows how long this will last Or how we've come so far so fast But somewhere back there in the dust That same small town in each of us I need to remember this So baby give me just one kiss And let me take a long last look Before we say goodbye Just lay your head back on the ground And let your hair fall all around me Offer up your best defense But this is the end This is the end of the Innocence Repeat Intro to end.
