Chords

[Verse 1]
Gm            Bb
Here I see a man

      Gm              C
I'm ashamed to recognize

Eb             C#
Gazing at his face

        Cm             D
I see weakness in his eyes

         Gm                     Bb
I won't claim it as my own, then

Gm                      Bb
This shattered face I see

         Eb             C#
Please take away the mirror

      Cm           D
This madman isn't me

Gm   F       Eb
How did it happen?

Dm            Cm              D
How'd this nightmare come to be...?
[Refrain]
Cm
My life was child's play

Dm
Without regret

       Gm       F      Eb
Not a game I couldn't win

      Cm               Dm    D
Or a need that wasn't met

Cm               Dm
Child's play, I fear

        Gm
Cannot last

           Bb
Years fly by

         C
All too fast

       C#             C
And child's play too soon

           Fm
Is in the past
[Verse 2]
Gm           Bb
I see the change

          Gm             C
From the mind that once I had

Eb               C#
In the looking glass

       Cm           D
I can see me going mad

           Gm          Bb
And I'm powerless to stop it

     Gm             C
Or counter this attack

       Eb             C#
And looking in the mirror

      Cm              D
The image starts to crack

Gm   F       Eb
How did it happen?

Dm       Cm            D
And why can't I go back...?
[Refrain]
Cm
My life was child's play

Dm
Carefree and dim

          Gm      F          Eb
But the child who rules his world

         Cm       Dm           D
Find in truth the world rules him

Cm                    Dm
Child's play once seemed

           Gm
Clear as day

             Bb
But colors fade

               C
To shades of grey

      C#           C
And child's play begins

          Fm
To slip away
[Bridge]
   Bb                  Fm
I swear the days were longer

      Bb                     Fm
The nights weren't half so cold

      C#             Cm
I remember how the years went by

      C#              Eb
But when did I grow old?

      F#            C#
The piper must be paid

          Ab               Eb
For the choices that you made

          C#                 Eb          D
For the songs you were so desperate to know

      Gm    F         Eb
Yes, take away this mirror

      Cm           D
The madman has to go –
[Refrain]
Cm
My life was child's play

Dm
So it began

          Gm        F    Eb
But the child was never told

Cm                    Dm    D
What it took to be a man

Cm                 Dm
Child's play now seems

             Gm
A distance friend

             Bb
But in the light

            C
It's all pretend

Db                 C
Child's play, I guess

          Fm
Is at an end

Db
There it is

        Ab
Final score

Db                C
Child's play, my boy

             Fm
And nothing more...
