Children Say

[Intro] F#m7(11)  B
        F#m7(11)  B  Bm7  E
        F#m7(11)  B
        F#m7(11)  B  Bm7  E

[Primera Parte]

F#m7(9)
  I keep to myself what I might 
share with others
    B
But they don't seem to understand
F#m7(9)
  I open my mouth to rediscover
B                         Bm7   E
I don't have the words at my command

F#m7(9)
  Holding out for a world so much 
better
            B
But I'm a stranger in a stranger's 
land
       F#m7(9)
All my friends have sold out
Couldn't handle the pressure
B
Counting their blessings
          Bm7               E
Trying to salvage what they can

[Estribillo]

C#m7                 A7M
Children say, children say
   C7M               D
We open our minds as one
    C#m7               A7M
But one more day slips away
              C7M                
Why don't the dreams of the young 
       D
never come to be

   F#m7(9)
When I overhear my parents' 
conversations
           B
Well, I'm struck by the things they 
say
              F#m7(9)
It seems they traded the years for 
mere complications
B                         Bm7     
Who ever thought it could end this 
 E
way

F#m7(9)
  They close the door, but they 
can't lock it
       B
'Cause something of their childhood 
remains
           F#m7(9)
And they've felt it before when the 
man in their pocket
B                           Bm7   
Counted the cost of their material 
 E
gains

C#m7               A7M
Children say, come what may
    C7M                         
Be strong for the friends you've 
  D
known
    C#m7              A7M
But one fine day, far away
          C7M                D
Will we remember the love we used to
 own
C#m7                 A7M
Children say, children say
   C7M               D
We open our minds as one
    C#m7               A7M
But one more day slips away
              C7M                
Why don't the dreams of the young 
       D
never come to be

         F#m7(9)
Well you knew what I was saying
(But did you know what it meant)
         B
When you saw that look in my eye
(Did you know it was heaven sent)
      F#m7(9)
Was it all a waking dream
(All that time we must have spent)
         B
Well I guess it must have been
               Bm7             E
(Somehow that feeling came and went)
