Intro: G D Em Bm C Cm G G D Em Iʼve seen it last for thirty years Bm C Seen it bloom, then end in tears Cm G Iʼve seen it after school and in the park G D Em Sat right across me on the tube Bm C Seen it miss a stop or two Cm G Seen it trying not to fall apart Em Bm Em Iʼve heard it laced in every song A C And still the words all come out wrong Cm G It doesnʼt always answer when you call G D Em Brings out the worst, brings out the best Bm C I understand it less and less Cm G I guess Iʼm not supposed to know it all C D G Iʼve seen it dance with friends around the table C D G In Eleanor, Rosie and Louise C D Em A And it makes me cry to think that I Am able Am D To give it back the way it gives to me G D Em Iʼve seen it grow old and forget Bm C Until itʼs just a silhouette Cm G Till someone picks it up and sends it on G D Em Iʼve seen the films, Iʼve read the books Bm C My mum and dad, they got me hooked Cm G The fairy tale, the search goes on and on Em Bm Em The more you look, the more you find A C Itʼs all around you all the time Cm G Catches your eye, you blink and then itʼs gone G D Em Brings out the worst, brings out the best Bm C I know itʼs somewhere in my chest Cm G I guess itʼs been inside me all along
