[Verse 1]
G                 D                Em              B
 I've seen it last for thirty years  Seen it bloom,
                 C
then end in tears
             Cm              G
I've seen it after school and in the park
                D              Em            B
Sat right across me on the tube  Seen it miss
             C
a stop or two
        Cm                G
Seen it trying not to fall apart

[Verse 2]
Em                   B             Em                   A7
  I've heard it laced in every song  And still the words
                  C             Cm
all come out wrong It doesn't al
                G
ways answer when you call
G
 Brings out the worst,
D                   Em            B
 brings out the best  I understand
                C
it less and less
            Cm                  G
I guess I'm not supposed to know it all

[Chorus]
             C          Dadd11               G     C G
I've seen it dance with friends around the table In
        C Dadd11          G C G
Eleanor,  Rosie and Louise
                C           Dadd11           Em
And it makes me cry to think      that I am able
               Am                    Dadd11
To give it back  the way it gives to me    

[Verse 3]
G             D                  Em               B
 I've seen it grow old and forget  Until it's just
            C
a silhouette
             Cm              G
Till someone picks it up and sends it on
              D
I've seen the films,
                   Em               B
I've read the books  My mum and dad,
                  C               Cm
they got me hooked The fairy tale,
                G
the search goes on and on

[Verse 4]
Em
  The more you look,
B                 Em               A7
 the more you find  It's all around
                C                 Cm
you all the time Catches your eye,
              G
you blink and then it's gone
Brings out the worst,
D/F#                   Em
    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
