G+G
I want to turn on the lights
I want to keep your hopes alive
FF
So where do I begin
  E minorEm        C majorC
To help you believe again
G+G
Makers of secret planes
Keepers of our last remains
FF
Dream of a holy state
   E minorEm       C majorC
In a nightmare time
You know I meant it well
  Am7Am7         B7B7
But who was it meant to help?
     E minorEm
Even the child knows you don't waste it
  D MajorD    E minorEm
A augmentedA promise is only given once
     Am7Am7               E minorEm
And there is no doubt that changes have begun
   D MajorD   E minorEm
Well, even a child knows that you can't fake it
  D MajorD      E minorEm
As long as the world is waking up
    Am7Am7           D MajorD
You are free now to recover your heart

[verse]
The stories left to write
The ebb and flow of my life
To justify the end
I'll do everything I can
And it's a dangerous game
I heard you tell someone
That you don't care
But I don't believe the message
And when you sing about love
What are you thinking of?
[chorus]
Even a child knows you don't waste it
As long as the world is waking up
And there is no doubt that changes have begun
Well, even a child knows you don't fake it
A augmentedA promise is only given once
                  G+G
You are free now to go wherever you want
[bridge]
    A augmentedA      A minorAm
There's nothing like waking up in some foreign town
  B7B7 E minorEm   D MajorD    G+G
And music, the call to prayer
   A augmentedA      A minorAm
Is wailing out of speakers in the marketplace
   B7B7
The first time
    E minorEm
Even a child
(solo)

B7B7    E minorEm
Even a child knows you don't waste it
B7B7      E minorEm
A augmentedA present can always be delivered twice
    Am7Am7               B7B7
You are free now to receive the gift of inside
D MajorD        G+G
From now on let's be open
D MajorD    C majorC
All in time, let's breathe in
D MajorD    G+G
A minorAm I brave, you're so brave
D MajorD    C majorC
A minorAm I afraid, no, not afraid
D MajorD    G+G
