[Verse]
G                          G/F#
Billy skipped school again looking like a fool again
G/F                       Em                 C
What a little waste for a taste of a big boy's life
D                     G
   I'm scared for the children

   G                            G/F#
Computer screens and magazines, manufactured hopes and dreams
G/F                              Em                           C
Playing in a concrete box 'cause mother's got her shows to watch
D                     G          G/F#
   I'm scared for the children

[Chorus]
Em                                G
This is the end of the age of the innocent
Em                        G
One more game before they go
Em                                G
This is the end of the age of the innocent
             Am
What will we leave them with
                    B7
Suppose we'll never know

[Verse]
G                                   G/F#
Processed greens and man made meat, running out of things to eat
G/F                               Em                           C
Little boys having way too much fun playing with a big boys gun
D                     G
   I'm scared for the children

    G                                   G/F#
And on the day the last bird dies there won't be a drop from their big square eyes
   G/F                              Em                             C
An old man with his eyes like glass kisses the last blade of grass
D                          G           G/F#
   Yeah I'm scared for the children

[Chorus]
Em                                G
This is the end of the age of the innocent
Em                        G
One more game before they go
Em                                G
This is the end of the age of the innocent
             Am
What will we leave them with
                    B7
Suppose we'll never know

A            Bm
What will we leave them with
                    C#m
Suppose we'll never know

[Outro]
A                     A/G#
No respect for anyone,    why would they after what we done
A/G                           F#m                       D
   What an example we have set,   what a planet we have left
E                           A
   Let's be there for these children
