[Verse 1]
Asus2
I keep to myself what I might share with others
B
but they don't seem to understand
Asus2
I open my mouth to rediscover
  B                    D        E
I don't have the words at my command
Asus2
holding out for a world so much better
          B
but I'm a stranger in a stranger's land
        Asus2
all my friends have sold out couldn't handle the pressure
B                                  D                 E
counting their blessings trying to salvage what they can


[Chorus]
C#m7
Children say - children say
Am7                  D
we open our minds as one
C#m7                      
but one more day - slips away
Am7                               D
why don't the dreams of the young never come to be


[Verse 2]
Asus2
When I overhear my parents conversations
         B
well I'm struck by the things they say
              Asus2 
it seems they traded the years for mere complications
    B                     D        E
who ever thought it could end this way
Asus2
they close the door but they can't lock it
       B
'cause something of their childhood remains
     Asus2
and they've felt it before when the man in their pocket
B                         D        E
counted the cost of their material gains


[Chorus]
C#m7                      
Children say - come what may
Am7                              D
be strong for the friends you've known
C#m7
but one fine day - (not) far away
Am7                          D
will we remember the love we used to own
C#m7
Children say - children say
Am7                  D
we open our minds as one
C#m7                      
but one more day - slips away
Am7                               D
why don't the dreams of the young never come to be

[Verse 3]
Asus2
Well you knew what I was saying but did you know what it meant
B
when you saw that look in my eye did you know it was heaven sent
Asus2
was it all a waking dream all that time we must have spent
B                                      D                     E
well I guess it must have been somehow that feeling came and went


[Chorus]
C#m7                      
Children say - come what may
Am7                              D
be strong for the friends you've known
C#m7
but one fine day - (not) far away
Am7                          D
will we remember the love we used to own
C#m7
Children say - children say
Am7                  D
we open our minds as one
C#m7
as one more day - slips away
Am7                               D
why don't the dreams of the young never come to be
