Capo 3rd fret

[no chord]
Ah, ah ah ah, we are children of the world – watching every day go by
[no chord]
Changes my life, changes your life – keeps us all anticipating
[no chord]
Ah, ah ah ah, we are searchers of the truth, every man’s a boy deep down
[no chord] Dmaj7
Gotta say it how you mean it – there ain’t no easy way

Like a bird in the wind, like a [G6/A]tree in the [Gmaj7/A]storm
Like the breath of a child from the [G6/A]moment he’s born
To the very last day when the curtains are [G6/A]drawn

Ah, ah ah ah, we are children of the world - asking every question why
From arrival to [G6/A]survival – just to make it worth the waiting
Ah, ah ah ah, we are faces in the night - watching every day go by
Changes my life, changes [G6/A]your life – there ain’t no easy way

In the back of your mind there is [G6/A]always a [Gmaj7/A]mark
There’s a wandering solo a[G6/A]lone in the dark
You can keep it forever or tear it a[G6/A]part
