Great song by Neil Finn and Johnny Marr (Smiths)
Comes closest to the original when you keep you pink on G 3rd fret 1st string for Em,
en C chords.
(intro)
D-G-D-Cadd9G
I want to turn on the lights
I want to keep your hopes alive
F
So where do I begin
EmC
To help you believe again
G
Makers of secret planes
Keepers of our last remains
F
Dream of a holy state
EmC
In a nightmare time
You know I meant it well
Am7B7
But who was it meant to help?
Em
Even the child knows you don't waste it
DEm
A promise is only given once
Am7Em
And there is no doubt that changes have begun
DEm
Well, even a child knows that you can't fake it
DEm
As long as the world is waking up
Am7D
You are free now to recover your heart
(verse)
The stories left to write
The ebb and flow of my life
To justify the end
I'll do everything I can
And it's a dangerous game
I heard you tell someone
That you don't care
But I don't believe the message
And when you sing about love
What are you thinking of?
(chorus)
Even a child knows you don't waste it
As long as the world is waking up
And there is no doubt that changes have begun
Well, even a child knows you don't fake it
A promise is only given once
G
You are free now to go wherever you want
(bridge)
AAm
There's nothing like waking up in some foreign town
B7EmDG
And music, the call to prayer
AAm
Is wailing out of speakers in the marketplace
B7
The first time
Em
Even a child
(solo)
B7Em
Even a child knows you don't waste it
B7Em
A present can always be delivered twice
Am7B7
You are free now to receive the gift of inside
DG
From now on let's be open
DC
All in time, let's breathe in
DG
Am I brave, you're so brave
DC
Am I afraid, no, not afraid
DG
Even the child
