Chords

Great song by Neil Finn and Johnny Marr (Smiths) Comes closest to the original when you keep you pink on G 3rd fret 1st string for Em, en C chords. [intro] D-G-D-Cadd9
G
I want to turn on the lights
I want to keep your hopes alive
F
So where do I begin

   Em               C
To help you believe again

G
Makers of secret planes
Keepers of our last remains
F
Dream of a holy state

     Em             C
In a nightmare time
You know I meant it well
    Am7                 B7
But who was it meant to help?

         Em
Even the child knows you don't waste it

    D        Em
A promise is only given once

          Am7                             Em
And there is no doubt that changes have begun

      D      Em
Well, even a child knows that you can't fake it

   D           Em
As long as the world is waking up

        Am7                      D
You are free now to recover your heart
[verse] The stories left to write The ebb and flow of my life To justify the end I'll do everything I can And it's a dangerous game I heard you tell someone That you don't care But I don't believe the message And when you sing about love What are you thinking of? [chorus] Even a child knows you don't waste it As long as the world is waking up And there is no doubt that changes have begun Well, even a child knows you don't fake it A promise is only given once
                                    G
You are free now to go wherever you want
[bridge]
        A            Am
There's nothing like waking up in some foreign town

    B7  Em     D       G
And music, the call to prayer

     A            Am
Is wailing out of speakers in the marketplace

      B7
The first time

       Em
Even a child
(solo)
B7        Em
Even a child knows you don't waste it

B7            Em
A present can always be delivered twice

        Am7                             B7
You are free now to receive the gift of inside

D                G
From now on let's be open

D       C
All in time, let's breathe in

D        G
Am I brave, you're so brave

D       C
Am I afraid, no, not afraid

D        G
Even the child
