[Intro] G  D  Em  B  C  Cm  G

[Primera Parte]

G             D                 Em
  I've seen it last for thirty years
         B                 C
Seen it bloom, then end in tears
             Cm               G
I've seen it after school and in the park

G             D              Em
  Sat right across me on the tube
          B            C
Seen it miss a stop or two
        Cm             G
Seen it trying not to fall apart

[Estribillo]

Em                B             Em
   I've heard it laced in every song
              A                  C
And still the words all come out wrong
           Cm            G
It doesn't always answer when you call

G                D                     Em
  Brings out the worst, brings out the
Best
        B               C
I understand it less and less
            Cm              G
I guess I'm not supposed to know it all

[Puente]

             C          D
I've seen it dance with friends around the
 G
 Table
       C    D           G
In Eleanor, Rosie and Louise
                C      D
And it makes me cry to think that I am
Em
Able
A            Am                     D
   To give it back the way it gives to me

[Tercera Parte]

G              D                Em
  I've seen it grow old and forget
              B          C
Until it's just a silhouеtte
             Cm              G
Till someone picks it up and sends it on

G               D                    Em
  I've seen the films, I've read the books
            B              C
My mum and dad, they got me hooked
          Cm                    G
The fairy tale, the search goes on and on

[Estribillo]

Em               B                  Em
    The more you look, the more you find
           A                C
It's all around you all the time
             Cm                 G
Catches your eye, you blink and then it's
Gone

G                D                     Em
  Brings out the worst, brings out the
Best
             B             C
I know it's somewhere in my chest
             Cm             G
I guess it's been inside me all along
