Verse 1:
                            C
"Oh, to be a child again," they said
                                    G
To have a brand new heart and brand new head
                               Am
To find the smallest of all things exciting
                              F
To find the biggest of all things inviting
                            C
"Oh, to be a child again," they said

At first, I thought it too
            G
But now I'm thinking
                                  Am
And I don't know if I do 'cause I'm just thinking
                     G         F
That maybe we don't miss being younger

Maybe we just miss the wonder
                     G
We miss the point of view


Chorus:
                   C
But we can have it too

If we really try
        G
All you have to do

Is open your eyes
    Am
The world is just the same

As it has always been
    F
The beauty is alive

It's eager to be seen
            C
So don't dismiss the colours

Don't dismiss the sounds
     G
Find comfort in the rain

Find magic in the clouds
          Am
As we get older

We fall into a spell
G   F
 To blame it on the world and not to look inside ourselves


Verse 2:
                           C
"Oh to be a child again," they said
                           G
Look at them, they have no fears at all

They'll chase their dreams
                     Am
They'll get up if they fall

But I think the main component
         F
It's not bravery

I think it's just living in the moment
               C
They don't get caught up in the future

Or caught up in the past
   G
Or caught up thinking about the things they don't already have
              Am
When you're a child

You don't wish your life away
   F
Or long for other times that isn't now, that's not today


Chorus:
       C
And we can too

If we really try
        G
All you have to do

Is open your eyes
    Am
The world is just the same

As it has always been
    F
The beauty is alive

It's eager to be seen
            C
So don't dismiss the colours

Don't dismiss the sounds
     G
Find comfort in the rain

Find magic in the clouds
          Am
As we get older

We fall into a spell
G   F
 To blame it on the world and not to look inside ourselves


Verse 3:
                 F
Look out of your window
              G
Look onto the street
                      C
Think of those you've met
             C/B                 Am
And think of those you've yet to meet
    G         F
The magic is around us
                       G
There's far more than enough
                          C            C/B               Am G
But I think that we don't notice it as much when we grow up
             F
Just take it in
G
Maybe then
                          C    G Am F
You'll feel like a child again


Outro:
                   C
Oh, to be a child again
