F                                 Dm                Bb
It's such a clever innocence with which you do your sorcery

   F              Am7                Bb                     C
As if somehow the years just bow and let that young girl go free

  Bb        C     F        Bb                F
I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled

  Bb                   Am             Gm              C        A7/C#
I thought I knew where I was going until I heard your laughter flowing

    Dm            Bb             F      Bb  F
And came upon the wisdom in your eyes

    C       C/Bb     Am7    Gm7(11)   C
Surprise!

F                        Bb 
I've spent my whole life running 'round

F                  Bb
Chasing songs from town to town

F               Am                Bb                     C
Thinking I'd be free so long as I never let love slow me down

   Bb     C      F       Bb                F
So lonely and so wild until you turned and smiled

   Bb                Am7
By now I should have long been gone

    Gm              C         A7/C#
But here I am still looking on

   Dm          Bb                F    
As if I didn't know which way to run

It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me

F                     Am7            Bb                   C
As if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be

  Bb        C     F        Bb                F
I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled

  Bb                 Am                Gm             C       A7/C#
I thought that I was free but I'm just one more prisoner of time

  Dm             Bb               F
Alone within the boundaries of my mind
