Akkorde End of the Innocence

Intro: G - C - G (2x)

Verse 1:
G
Remember when the days were long
      C
and rolled beneath a deep blue sky
G
Didn't have a care in the world
        C                        D
With mommy and daddy standing by
     G
But happily ever after fails
                     C
and we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
      G
The lawyers dwell on small details
         Em     C       D 
Since daddy had to fly

Übergang:
         Em7        Bm7           Am7
Ah but I know a place where we can go
Em7         Cmaj7       D
That's still untouched by man
Em7           Bm7        Am7
We'll sit and watch the clouds go by
           Em7      Cmaj7         D
and the tall grass wave in the wind

Refrain:
            G          D         C
you can lay your head back on the ground
       Em7    Bm7   Am7
And let your hair fall all around me
G      D        C
Offer up your best defense
      Em7       Bm7 Am7 Cmaj7     D             G
But this is the end,           This is the end of the Innocence

Wiederholung Intro:
G - C - G

Verse 2:
G
Oh beautiful for spacious skies
      C
But now those skies are threatening
G
They're beating plowshares into swords
        C                        D
For this tired old man that we elected king
G
Armchair warriors often fail
                 C
And we've been poisoned by these fairytales
G
The lawyers clean up all details
         Em     C       D 
Since daddy had to lie

Übergang:
         Em7        Bm7           Am7
But I know a place where we can go
Em7         Cmaj7       D
And wash away the sin
Em7           Bm7        Am7
We'll sit and watch the clouds go by
           Em7      Cmaj7         D
And the tall grass wave in the wind

Refrain:
            G          D         C
you can lay your head back on the ground
       Em7    Bm7   Am7
And let your hair fall all around me
G      D        C
Offer up your best defense
      Em7       Bm7 Am7 Cmaj7     D             G
But this is the end,           This is the end of the Innocence

Solo: G - C - G

Verse 3:
G
Who knows how long this will last
     C
Or how we've come so far so fast
G
But somewhere back there in the dust
        C                       D
That same small town in each of us
G
I need to remember this 
     C
So baby give me just one kiss
G
And let me take a long last look
         Em     C       D 
Before we say goodbye

Refrain:
      G          D         C
Just lay your head back on the ground
       Em7    Bm7   Am7
And let your hair fall all around me
G      D        C
Offer up your best defense
      Em7       Bm7 Am7 Cmaj7     D             G
But this is the end,           This is the end of the Innocence

Outro:
G - C  - G .....
