Verse: (1:35)

A
So softly you’ll run
A                                 G
From the sound of your brother’s gun
G                            A
But you know it’s not just a game
A
In the brambles you’ll hide
A                            G
Till the caretaker comes outside
G                        A
And everyone calls your name



Chorus: (2:17)

Em
When you are young
            C
There are battle plans and distant drums
Em
When you are young
           C
There is nothing right and nothing wrong
C#m
You will play in the maze
A           G#m                  C#m
Till your mother, she calls you away



Verse: (2:54)
A
And we’ll scratch in the dirt
A                                G
Where the bones are picked clean by the birds
G                       A
And the clouds are out of reach
A
And you’ll twist in his fist
A                     G
As Persephone blows a kiss
G                            A
And you hide yourself under the sheets



Chorus: (3:35)

Em
When you are young
            C
There are battle plans and distant drums
Em
When you are young
           C
There is nothing right and nothing wrong
C#m
You will play in the maze
A           G#m                  C#m
Till your mother, she calls you away
