[Verse 1]
Ab
Remember when the days were long
Db
And rolled beneath a deep blue sky
Ab
Didn't have a care in the world
Db Eb
With mommy and daddy standin' by
Ab
But "happily ever after" fails
Db
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
Ab
The lawyers dwell on small details
Fm Db Eb
Since daddy had to fly
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm Cm Bbm Db
Oh, but I know a place where we can go
Fm Db Eb
Still untouched by men
Fm Cm Bbm Db
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
Fm Db Eb
And the tall grass waves in the wind
[Chorus]
Ab Eb Db
You can lay your head back on the ground
Fm Cm Bbm Db
And let your hair fall all around me
Ab Eb Db
Offer up your best defense
Fm Cm
This is the end
Bbm Db Eb Ab
This is the end of the innocence
[Verse 2]
Bbm Fm Eb Db Ab
O' beautiful,
for spacious skies
Db
Now those skies are threatening
Ab
They're beating plowshares into swords
Db Eb
For this tired old man that we elected king
Ab
Armchair warriors often fail
Db
And we've been poisoned by these fairy tales
Ab
The lawyers clean up all details
Fm Db Eb
Since daddy had to lie
[Pre-Chorus]
Fm Cm Bbm Db
Oh, but I know a place where we can go
Fm Db Eb
And wash away this sin
Fm Cm Bbm Db
We'll sit and watch the clouds roll by
Fm Db Eb
And the tall grass waves in the wind
[Chorus]
Ab Eb Db
Just lay your head back on the ground
Fm Cm Bbm Db
And let your hair spill all around me
Ab Eb Db
Offer up your best defense
Fm Cm
This is the end
Bbm Db Eb Ab
This is the end of the innocence

[Verse 3]
Ab
Oh, who knows how long this will last
Db
Now we've come so far, so fast
Ab
But somewhere back there in the dust
Db Eb
That same small town in each of us
Ab
I need to remember this
Db
So baby, give me just one kiss
Ab
And let me take a long last look
Fm Db Eb
Before we say goodbye
[Chorus]
Ab Eb Db
Jus lay your head back on the ground
Fm Cm Bbm Db
And let your hair fall all around me
Ab Eb Db
Offer up your best defense
Fm Cm
This is the end
Bbm Db Eb Ab
This is the end of the innocence
