[Verse 1]
Cmaj7                                         G
When I was a child I dreamed like a child of wonder
           C                                     G
with my back to the grass, my eyes to the sky to see
    F                      C                                 G
I believed in the stars, I knew they cast a spell that I was under
F                                  C
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]
         G      C          G      C
I can't feel it,  I can't feel it
                  G                  C
Must have gone away out my back door
                   G                 C
Must have gone away out my back door
              G   D     C      G
because it's gone gone gone


[Verse 2]
Cmaj7                                             G
Then I fell in love, love gave me a shot of pure desire
Cmaj7                                                         G
There was nothing else like this, this unimagined bliss, this ecstasy
F                           C                                G
Deep inside the night, I believed I saw the light ignite a fire
F                                C
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]
         G      C          G      C
I can't feel it,  I can't feel it
                  G                  C
Must have gone away out my back door
                   G                 C
Must have gone away out my back door
              G   D     C           (G)
because it's gone gone gone


[Bridge]
Em                              C
        So I run into the street
         Em                                         C
And I'm shouting into the phone asking everyone I meet
                Em                              C
I say "Have you seen it on my doorstep did you see it in my car?
          Em                                  C
Have you seen it in the alley? Was it on the back of some guitar?
        Em                             C
Is it sleeping in the hallway? Does it cry all night alone?
       Em
Is it selling itself for money?
         C                          D           C
Does it want, does it want to come home?


[Verse 3]
Cmaj7                                                   G
Then I saw the world, wounded deep and curled up on my sidewalk
         Cmaj7                                                G
With the mouths all white and pale, telling all their tales reality
      F                            C                              G
So I picked up a sign, and I found a place in line and I shouted no talk
     F                           C
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]
              G      C              G      C
Oh, but I can feel it, oh, I wanna feel it
                     G                 C
I can't let it run away out my back door
                     G                 C
I can't let it run away out my back door


[Outro]
                 G                   C                 G  C  G
Lord, if I look out there, if I look out there, every da-a- ay
C                     G  C                      G
I can't let it run away, I can't let it run away,
C                     G        C
Oh if I look out there, every da-a-y!
