[Verse 1]
Cmaj7G
When I was a child I dreamed like a child of wonder
CG
with my back to the grass, my eyes to the sky to see
FCG
I believed in the stars, I knew they cast a spell that I was under
FC
With my fingers in the dirt, I was part of the earth
D
Every living thing was part of me
G
But it's gone
D
It's gone
Em
It's gone
Cm
it's gone gone
[Chorus]
GCGC
I can't feel it, I can't feel it
GC
Must have gone away out my back door
GC
Must have gone away out my back door
GDCG
because it's gone gone gone
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7G
Then I fell in love, love gave me a shot of pure desire
Cmaj7G
There was nothing else like this, this unimagined bliss, this ecstasy
FCG
Deep inside the night, I believed I saw the light ignite a fire
FC
And it burned into the dark, it burned deep inside my heart,
D
I thought it would burn eternally
G
But it's gone
D
It's gone
Em
It's gone
Cm
it's gone gone
[Chorus]
GCGC
I can't feel it, I can't feel it
GC
Must have gone away out my back door
GC
Must have gone away out my back door
GDC (G)
because it's gone gone gone
[Bridge]
EmC
So I run into the street
EmC
And I'm shouting into the phone asking everyone I meet
EmC
I say "Have you seen it on my doorstep did you see it in my car?
EmC
Have you seen it in the alley? Was it on the back of some guitar?
EmC
Is it sleeping in the hallway? Does it cry all night alone?
Em
Is it selling itself for money?
CDC
Does it want, does it want to come home?
[Verse 3]
Cmaj7G
Then I saw the world, wounded deep and curled up on my sidewalk
Cmaj7G
With the mouths all white and pale, telling all their tales reality
FCG
So I picked up a sign, and I found a place in line and I shouted no talk
FC
The men all painted proud, their words empty and loud
D
Are trying hard to sell my dream
G
They tell me it's gone,
D
they say it's gone
Em
They say it's,
Cm
it's gone
[Chorus]
GCGC
Oh, but I can feel it, oh, I wanna feel it
GC
I can't let it run away out my back door
GC
I can't let it run away out my back door
[Outro]
GCGCG
Lord, if I look out there, if I look out there, every da-a- ay
CGCG
I can't let it run away, I can't let it run away,
CGC
Oh if I look out there, every da-a-y!
