INTRO: F Am7 F Am7 F Am7 F
C I need to go down and wash my face F Dm7 Deep in the river of my old home place Am G C G C-G I need to walk in the waters that once gave me life C Go over and walk the old railroad tracks F Dm7 See if I can follow it all the way back Am G C F Back to where my vision is clear G F Back to the days of the innocent years C Though I'd trade it all back in F Dm7 For just one day like it was back then Am G C G C-G Back before just living my life got in the way C To see my face at sixteen again F Dm7 When the boy down the street was my best friend Am G C F When his smile took away my tears G F Back in the days of the innocent years
CHORUS:
Am You might grow wiser every day F But there's a price you have to pay Dm7 F The girl I was just disappeared G F I left her behind in the innocent years
INTERLUDE: F Am7 F Am7 F Am7 F
C Now and then when the sun goes down F Dm7 I can see the moon over my hometown Am G C G C-G I can almost hear the train rushing by C I close my eyes and say a prayer F Dm7 To the wide eyed girl that I lost somewhere Am G C F Maybe someday she'll find me here G F And lead me back to the innocent years
CHORUS:
Am You might grow wiser every day F But there's a price you have to pay Dm7 F The girl I was just disappeared G F Left her behind in the innocent years
CHORUS:
Am When I get lost along the way F And I can't see the light of day Dm7 F I can almost feel her near G F Calling me back to the innocent years, yeah, yeah
