Intro:
E minorEm C majorC Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm C majorC Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm

Verse:
C majorC   Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm          C majorC      Dsus2Dsus2      E minorEm               C majorC
Fade away, exploiting our children. When you ignore them, they flow down the river of all your life
           Dsus2Dsus2   E minorEm                   Dsus2Dsus2      E minorEm
Three times you heard them, they begged for a companion for the need to cure their loneliness

Chorus:
      C majorC          Dsus2Dsus2      E minorEm
An innocent child you are, back when, so full of life you were
             C majorC       Dsus2Dsus2      E minorEm
Back when, and I saw the aging eyes of wisdom creeping in
      C majorC        Dsus2Dsus2        E minorEm
And so you lost it all, back when, as I wrote the news of the war
             C majorC         Dsus2Dsus2   E minorEm
Back when, in time never change the way you were back when

Verse:
C majorC      Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm            C majorC       Dsus2Dsus2    E minorEm               C majorC
 Behind the wall sinners hide their faces, those with coercive hands bleeding out what little hope remained
  Dsus2Dsus2  E minorEm           C majorC        Dsus2Dsus2   E minorEm
For them and still for a moment your innocence cries out for a way

Chorus:
      C majorC          Dsus2Dsus2      E minorEm
An innocent child you are, back when, so full of life you were
             C majorC       Dsus2Dsus2      E minorEm
Back when, and I saw the aging eyes of wisdom creeping in
      C majorC        Dsus2Dsus2        E minorEm
And so you lost it all, back when, as I wrote the news of the war
             C majorC         Dsus2Dsus2   E minorEm
Back when, in time never change the way you were back when

Break:
C majorC Dsus2Dsus2 C majorC Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm  E minorEm Dsus2Dsus2

C majorC Dsus2Dsus2 C majorC Dsus2Dsus2          E minorEm   E minorEm Dsus2Dsus2
Ahhh    pain of a thousand sorrows

C majorC Dsus2Dsus2 C majorC Dsus2Dsus2 E minorEm

Verse:
C majorC   Dsus2Dsus2  E minorEm           C majorC     Dsus2Dsus2        E minorEm               C majorC
 Fade away with nothing left to wonder. Left in another's hands, they flow down the river of all your life
       Dsus2Dsus2   E minorEm         C majorC        Dsus2Dsus2      E minorEm
Three times again they beg for a companion for the need to cure their loneliness

Chorus:
        C majorC          Dsus2Dsus2      E minorEm
Oh an innocent child you are, back when, so full of life you were
             C majorC       Dsus2Dsus2      E minorEm
Back when, and I saw the aging eyes of wisdom creeping in
      C majorC        Dsus2Dsus2        E minorEm
And so you lost it all, back when, as I wrote the news of the war
             C majorC         Dsus2Dsus2   E minorEm
Back when, in time never change the way you were back when
