Great song by Neil Finn and Johnny Marr (Smiths)
Comes closest to the original when you keep you pink on G 3rd fret 1st string for Em,
en C chords.
[intro]
D-G-D-Cadd9
G
I want to turn on the lights
I want to keep your hopes alive
F
So where do I begin
Em C
To help you believe again
G
Makers of secret planes
Keepers of our last remains
F
Dream of a holy state
Em C
In a nightmare time
You know I meant it well
Am7 B7
But who was it meant to help?
Em
Even the child knows you don't waste it
D Em
A promise is only given once
Am7 Em
And there is no doubt that changes have begun
D Em
Well, even a child knows that you can't fake it
D Em
As long as the world is waking up
Am7 D
You are free now to recover your heart
[verse]
The stories left to write
The ebb and flow of my life
To justify the end
I'll do everything I can
And it's a dangerous game
I heard you tell someone
That you don't care
But I don't believe the message
And when you sing about love
What are you thinking of?
[chorus]
Even a child knows you don't waste it
As long as the world is waking up
And there is no doubt that changes have begun
Well, even a child knows you don't fake it
A promise is only given once
G
You are free now to go wherever you want
[bridge]
A Am
There's nothing like waking up in some foreign town
B7 Em D G
And music, the call to prayer
A Am
Is wailing out of speakers in the marketplace
B7
The first time
Em
Even a child
(solo)
B7 Em
Even a child knows you don't waste it
B7 Em
A present can always be delivered twice
Am7 B7
You are free now to receive the gift of inside
D G
From now on let's be open
D C
All in time, let's breathe in
D G
Am I brave, you're so brave
D C
Am I afraid, no, not afraid
D G
Even the child
