[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 (1)]
---------------------
        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 (1)]
---------------------
        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 (2)]
---------------------
        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 (2)]
---------------------
     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 (3)]
---------------------
    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
