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-Cadd9  
GI want to turn on the lights
I want to keep your hopes alive
FSo where do I begin
To Emhelp you believe Cagain
GMakers of secret planes
Keepers of our last remains
FDream of a holy state
In a Emnightmare timeC  
You know I meant it well
But Am7who was it meant to B7help?
Even the Emchild knows you don't waste it
A prDomise is Emonly given once
And there Am7is no doubt that changes have beEmgun
Well, Deven a Emchild knows that you can't fake it
As Dlong as the Emworld is waking up
You are Am7free now to recover your Dheart
[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
You are free now to go wherever you Gwant
[bridge]
There's Anothing like Amwaking up in some foreign town
And B7musiEmc, the Dcall to Gprayer
Is waAiling out of Amspeakers in the marketplace
The fiB7rst time
Even a Emchild
(solo)
B7Even a chiEmld knows you don't waste it
B7A present can Emalways be delivered twice
You are Am7free now to receive the gift of B7inside
DFrom now on let's Gbe open
DAll in tCime, let's breathe in
DAm I bravGe, you're so brave
DAm I afrCaid, no, not afraid
DEven the Gchild
