B                                  E
I lived a life of illusion and you had your kicks

   A                             F#m G
So what, there's nothing left to do

    B                                E
And you and your obsessions and your crucifix

             A                        F#5 B5
As if what I thought mattered much to you
[Chorus]
    E                  C                       B
And you were always my friend from Childhood's End

          A        G
It was forever and ever

    E        C
Did you understand

                 B
It's Childhood's End

               G        A
But never, the dream is over
[Verse 2]
B                     E              A
Sunday morning in the New York Times

                     F#5 G5
I read you died last night

B                                 E              A
It said you were smilin' when you blew your mind

                        F#5 B5 E5
And the note you left behind said:
[Chorus]
E                  C                       B
You were always my friend from Childhood's End

              A        G
Seems like forever and ever

      E                            C
Yeah, you won't have to have to pretend

              B
It's near the end

    A                        G
You won't ever be a rock and roller

      E                  C                       B
Yeah, you were always my friend from Childhood's End

    A                   G
But never, the dream is over
