Marillion – Childhoods End (Guitar)

           D             F#m
And it was morning And I found myself mourning,     

      Bm                            G
For a childhood that I thought had disappeared

                 D                  F#m                       
I looked out the window And I saw a magpie in the rainbow, 

    Bm                                     G
the rain had gone I'm not alone, I turned to the mirror

      E        D                Bm        E 
I saw you, the child, that once loved The child before they broke his heart

    D          Bm              E
Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost

    D    F#m     Bm                   G
Hey you,      surprised? More than surprised

            D                             F#m 
To find the answers to the questions Were always in your own eyes

       Bm                          G   
Do you realise that you give it on back to her?

     D                              F#m                           Bm       G
But that would only be retraced in all the problems that you ever knew So untrue

    D                          F#m  
For she's got to carry on with her life

    Bm                          G
And you've got to carry on with yours

     E        D               Bm            E  
So I see it's me, I can do anything And I'm still the child

     E                            D                       Bm
'Cos the only thing misplaced was direction And I found direction  

              E  
There is no childhood's end

     E     D                 Bm      E              
You are my childhood friend, lead me on

    D    F#m     Bm                   G
Hey you, you've survived. Now you've arrived

        D                         F#m 
To be reborn in the shadow of the magpie

         Bm                             G   
Now you realise, that you've got to get out of here

                 D                         F#m                          Bm    
You've found the leading light of destiny, burning in the ashes of your memory

            G
You want to change the world

    D                                   F#m  
You'd resigned yourself to die a broken rebel

    Bm                                                G
But that was looking backward    Now you've found the light

E        D               Bm        E  
You, the child that once loved The child before they broke his heart

    D          Bm             E                           
Our heart, the heart that I believed was lost

     E        D               Bm            E  
So I see it's me, I can do anything And I'm still the child

     E                            D                       Bm
'Cos the only thing misplaced was direction And I found direction  

              E  
There is no childhood's end

     E     D                 Bm      E              
You are my childhood friend, lead me on
