[Primeira 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
[Refrão]
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 D
Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be
[Segunda Parte]
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 E
Who ever thought it could end this 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 E
Counted the cost of their material gains
[Refrão]
C#m7 A7M
Children say, come what may
C7M D
Be strong for the friends you've 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 D
Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be

[Terceira Parte]
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)
[Refrão]
C#m7 A7M
Children say, come what may
C7M D
Be strong for the friends you've 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 D
Why don't the dreams of the young never come to be
