Verse 1:
G       C             G        C
  Jesse sees her life   before   her
G          C        G        Bbm
  Standing naked in the dark
Am
  Here comes the sun, pull down the curtain
C                      E       G
  For it may touch and leave a mark
 
Verse 2:
G          C      G      C
  Children try to talk together
G             C            G         Bbm
  They simply cannot catch the phrase
Am
  Sometimes laughter is somehow murdered
C                   E           B
  Shattered glass a thousand ways

Chorus:
A                    C
  Children sing with fantasy words
E                C        Am
  Playin' little backyard games
A                C
  Jesse sings to them without words
E                     C       Am
  And they love her until
A        C             G       C
  she complains

Verse 3:
G           C         G         C
  But then again, her youth has ended
G               C         G           Bbm
  She's walking where she used to crawl
Am
  Cryin' now before their laughter
C                   E            B7
  Children finished first of all
 
Chorus:
A                    C
  Children sing with fantasy words
E                C                Am
  Playin' little backyard games
A                C
  Jesse sings to them without words
E                     C       Am
  And they love her until
A        G   C        G  C
  she complains
