Gm Ab
Are you still in control of the boat that you row
Bb Cm
Or do you still cling to me when its sinking
Gm Ab
I never condemned you, I only consoled you
Bb Cm
When candlelight made me a King
[Chorus]
Fm G
For the wide-eyed and laughing passed like a season
Ab Gm Cm
Erasing a passion to sin
Fm G
For no one knew better than the tealeaves and the tarots
Ab Ddim Ab Eb Fm Cm
That the wide-eyed and laughing were just one step ahead of the wind
[Verse 2]
Gm Ab
And the hearts that you played on the porch swing for me
Bb Cm
Was a song that I'd heard in the past
Gm Ab
For I had an audience somewhere inside you
Bb Cm
That applauded whenever you laughed
[Verse 3]
Gm Ab
Gone is a word that I now rarely use
Bb Cm
Though sometime in the course of a day
Gm Ab
I go racing back like a man possessed
Fm G
By the wide-eyed and laughing daughters of some different age
