Start Jamming...
[A] [E] [A]
I've never seen you look like this without a reason
[E]
Another promise [A] falling through [F#m] another season
[A]
[B] Passes by you
[F#]
[F#] [E]
I never took the [A] smile away from anybody's [E] face
And that's a desperate [A] way to look for [F#m] someone who [A] is
Still [B] a [C#m] child
[E] In a big [A] country dream, [B] stay [C#m] with you
Like a lover of boys, [E] part the [B] mountainside
[A]
Stay [F#] a child
[E]
[F#] [E]
I've found the pain and [A] truth of things I've really got
[C#m]
[F#] [E]
[A] [E]
I'm only expecting to [A] grow flowers in the desert
[E]
But I can live and [A] breathe and see [F#] the sun [A] and [B] [C#m] wintertime
[E] In a big [A] country [B] dream, stay [C#m] with you
Like a lover of boys, [E] part the [B] mountainside
[A]
Stay [C#m] a child
[E] In a big [A] country [B] dream, stay [C#m] with you
Like a lover of boys, [E] part the mountainside
[A] Stay [F#] a child
[E] [A]
[C#m] [C#]
So take that look [A] out of here, it doesn't fit [C#m] you
Because it's happened doesn't mean you've been [E] discarded
Hold up your head [A] up the door, come on, scream [C#m] it
Cry out for everything [F#]
you ever might have [E] wanted
The pain and [A] truth of things that really matter
[C#m] You can't stay here, [F#] well, you know [E] you'll end up sad
See ya!
[A] [E]
[A] [E]
I'm not expecting to grow flowers [A] in the [E] desert
But I can live and breathe and see [A] the sun and [B] [C#m] wintertime
[E] In a big [A] country [B] dream, stay [C#m] with you
Like a lover of boys, [E] part the [B]
mountainside
[A] Stay [F#] a child
[E] In a big [A] country [B] dream, stay [C#m] with you
Like a lover of boys, [E] part the mountainside
[A]
Stay [C#m] a child
[F#] [C#m]
In a big country dream, stay with you
Like a lover of boys, [E] part the mountainside
