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 standing 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

Em7 Bm7 Am7

Ah but I know a place where we can go

Em7 Cmaj7 D

That's still untouched by man

Em7 Bm7 Am7

We'll sit and watch the clouds go by

Em7 Cmaj7 D

and the tall grass wave in the wind

G D C

you can lay your head back on the ground

Em7 Bm7 Am7

And let your hair fall all around me

G D C

Offer up your best defense

Em7 Bm7 Am7 Cmaj7 D

But this is the end, This is the end

G

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.
