C
eight years old,
G
we're told: you're too young
Am F C
to unlearn how to smile and hate the world
eight years from now on
G
you'll forget
Am F C
the art of carefreeness and little girls
So six young hearts kick start
G Am F C
and venture into a labyrinth of question marks
mischievous wide eyed
G Am
we had nothing to hide
F C
our smiles were bona fide
F
We dreamed of superpowers
Am G
meteor showers, climbing towers
C
magic mermaids, flying ships
F
and finding home
in our unlocked golden coffer
Am G
all we had was love to offer
C G Am F G
a currency that once was just enough
guess we grew up
C
C
these days we've ceased to give
G Am
a frail and feeble damn
F C
we've got new better plans
G Am
crystal clear each year since june of 2010
F C
we've grown cavalier and bland
F
We used to dance in rainstorms
Am G
fight our battles win the whole war
C G Am
we spoke in flames and held hands while we burned
F
now all we ever do
G
is vomit apathy we mop it
Am G
with apologies, "I'm sorry's"
F G
I worry, I worry
C G
we grew up
Am F C G
ooh
Am F C G
things have changed and minds have aged
Am F C G
we're so far in this unfeasible maze
Am F C
when did black and white decide to propagate
G Am F C G
'cause everything now seems so grey
Am F C G
we've forgotten the beats of our own drums
Am F C G
we've lost touch of tunes we used to hum
Am F C
we smell of sin and no longer of bubblegum
G Am F C
our season is yet to come
F C
we're houses with water stained walls
Am C G
we're standing but no longer tall
F C
when did we stop having a ball?
G F
I don't recall
G
I don't recall
C
here we are so far
G Am
we've walked a lonely road
F C
we're like nomads finding home
but somewhere far inside
G Am
the eight year old resides
F C
whispering you'll be all right
so let us live, let live
G Am
forgive and hope we don't
F C
fail the souls we used to know
G Am F C
let's walk eachother home little souls please dont let go
G Am
this unknown is ours to roam
F C
our little souls will walk us home
