[Verse]
  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
 
[Pre-Chorus]
       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
 
[Chorus]
        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
But this is the end
Cmaj7          D       G
This is the end of the innocence

[Verse]
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
 
[Pre-Chorus]
 
      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
 
[Chorus]
        G        D         C
You can lay your head back on the ground
Em7      Bm7       Am7
Let your hair fall all around me
G     D       C
Offer up your best defense
    Em7         Bm7    Am7
But this is the end
Cmaj7          D       G
This is the end of the innocence

[Verse]
G
Who knows how long this will last
C
Now 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
  Em7     C       D
Before we say goodbye
 
 
[Chorus]
     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
But this is the end
Cmaj7          D       G
This is the end of the innocence
