We're still the children [F#m] we [F#] were then, and [D] we never found [E] a way, we never did get [A] home.
[F#] Where's mommy, daddy, where'd [C#m] they go?
[F#m] They've left us here [C#] alone.
[D] And with all the arts we've mastered, all the things [E] we've known, who's going to take [A] us home?
We're [F#m] still the children we were [D] then, [E] who's going to take [A] us home?
We're still [F#m] the children we [D] were then, [E] who's going to take us [F#m] home?
Take us [E] home.
And I hope you know that [F#] after all these demons [D] have passed and gone, [E]
there's always one [A] more left.

I [D]
apologize for [B] any [G] histrionics, reality can be [E] a crashing bore.
But if [F#m] you really want [C#m] something, maudlin, [F#m] all you do is march [C#m] abroad and [D] let emotions
pour, [E] let emotions pour.

But now in all [F#m] sincerity, [F#]
[D] try not to be too [E] rough on me.
[F#m] We're not enough [C#] for score, [F#m] who did what and how, [C#] what for?
