Chords

This is just an expansion on other tabs/chords I've seen online. I HATE when people don't post all the lyrics, or when they do post all the lyrics but only fill out half the chords. So here you go:
G               
Remember when the days were long

        C 
and rolled beneath a deep blue sky

G
Didn't have a care in the world

          C          D  
With mommy and daddy standing by

      G
But happily ever after fails

                       C
and we've been poisoned by these fairy tales

      G
The lawyers dwell on small details

          Em     C       D 
Since daddy had to fly

          Em7       Bm7           Am7 
Ah but I know a place where we can go

Em7           Cmaj7         D
That's still untouched by man

Em7            Bm7          Am7
We'll sit and watch the clouds go by

           Em7        Cmaj7         D                   
and the tall grass wave in the wind

            G           D             C
you can lay your head back on the ground

  Em7        Bm7      Am7  
And let your hair fall all around me

G      D         C 
Offer up your best defense

      Em7        Bm7  Am7  Cmaj7       D
But this is the end,           This is the end

           G             
Of the Innocence
Repeat Intro
G
Oh beautiful for spacious skies

C
But now those skies are threatening

G
They're beating plowshares into swords

C                           D
For this tired old man that we elected king

G
Armchair warriors often fail

               C
And we've been poisoned by these fairytales

G
The lawyers clean up all details

      Em    C      D
Since daddy had to lie

      Em7       Bm7           Am7
But I know a place where we can go

Em7    Cmaj7         D
And wash away the sin

      Em7            Bm7          Am7
We'll sit and watch the clouds go by

        Em7        Cmaj7         D
And the tall grass wave in the wind

        G           D             C
You can lay your head back on the ground

 Em7     Bm7       Am7 
Let your hair fall all around me

      G      D         C
Offer up your best defense

Em7        Bm7       Am7   Cmaj7       D
But this is the end,      This is the end

        G
Of the Innocence

G
Who knows how long this will last

C
Or how we've come so far so fast

G
But somewhere back there in the dust

C                       D
That same small town in each of us

G
I need to remember this 

C
So baby give me just one kiss

G
And let me take a long last look

C             D
Before we say goodbye

     G         D        C
Just lay your head back on the ground

     Em7     Bm7       Am7
And let your hair fall all around me

G      D       C
Offer up your best defense

Em7            Bm7   Am7   Cmaj7       D
But this is the end,      This is the end 

       G
of the Innocence
