Childhoods End

A
           D             F#m
And it was morning And I found myself mourning,
      Bm                            G
For a childhood that I thought had disappeared
                 D                  F#m
I looked out the window And I saw a magpie in the rainbow,
    Bm                                     G
the rain had gone I'm not alone, I turned to the mirror

      E        D                Bm        E
I saw you, the child, that once loved The child before they broke his heart
    D          Bm              E
Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost
    D    F#m     Bm                   G
Hey you,      surprised? More than surprised
            D                             F#m
To find the answers to the questions Were always in your own eyes

       Bm                          G
Do you realise that you give it on back to her?
     D                              F#m                           Bm       G
But that would only be retraced in all the problems that you ever knew So untrue

    D                          F#m
For she's got to carry on with her life
    Bm                          G
And you've got to carry on with yours

     E        D               Bm            E
So I see it's me, I can do anything And I'm still the child
     E                            D                       Bm
'Cos the only thing misplaced was direction And I found direction
              E
There is no childhood's end
     E     D                 Bm      E
You are my childhood friend, lead me on

    D    F#m     Bm                   G
Hey you, you've survived. Now you've arrived
        D                         F#m
To be reborn in the shadow of the magpie
         Bm                             G
Now you realise, that you've got to get out of here

                 D                         F#m                          Bm
You've found the leading light of destiny, burning in the ashes of your memory
            G
You want to change the world
    D                                   F#m
You'd resigned yourself to die a broken rebel
    Bm                                                G
But that was looking backward    Now you've found the light

E        D               Bm        E
You, the child that once loved The child before they broke his heart
    D          Bm             E
Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost

     E        D               Bm            E
So I see it's me, I can do anything And I'm still the child
     E                            D                       Bm
'Cos the only thing misplaced was direction And I found direction
              E
There is no childhood's end
     E     D                 Bm      E
You are my childhood friend, lead me on
