[Verse 1]
The Glight on the Gcampfire is Cseen across the Gfields
As we Gsit,   Dtalking of GchildhoodG  
Warm Gwine in the Gcup & the Cstories of Gfriends
All we Gknow right now, Dis that this is GgoodG  
& the Coutside Cworld cannot Dcome in Dhere
Our Challow   Csafe DplaceD  
GSafe from the Gblades & the Ccold bayonGets
& the Gsunken,      Dangry GfacesG  
[Chorus]
Hey hDey,    Dwe can pGlayG  
Through the CbackyardCs of our DinnocenceD  
The Gsandbox & the Gswings & the Cladder & the Gslide
The secret Gplaces,   Dwhere we used to GhideG  
[Verse 2]
LGaughter old fGriend it's good to Csee your face Gagain
It's been Gso long, Dsince I heard your GvoiceG  
SometGimes we forgGet when the Cgrey gets us Gdown
We are Gyoung .    D& still have a GchoiceG  
& the Cserious Cscenes & reDsponsibilitDies
weigh on our Cmind, till Cwe are walking DdeadD  
but to Gjoy I raise a Gglass & let the Ctime roll Gpast
all that Gmatters is where Dtogether here you GsaidG  
[Chorus]
Hey hDey,    Dwe can pGlayG  
Through the CbackyardCs of our DinnocenceD  
The Gsandbox & the Gswings & the Cladder & the Gslide
The secret Gplaces,   Dwhere we used to GhideG  
[Verse 3]
As we Gshare in remeGmbrance of a Clighter hoGur
We bGring, Dthe playground GbackG  
All the Gromping & the wGhistling & the Ccrying & the Gkissing
& our wGhole lives,    Dinside a GbackpackG  
CGoing through the Cboxes & the Drooms of my Dmind
DCigging out the Ccobwebs on the DwallD  
O the Gbittersweet Gtaste of the Cman I have Gbecome
GFades      D& a young boy GcallsG  
[Chorus]
Hey hDey,    Dwe can pGlayG  
Through the CbackyardCs of our DinnocenceD  
The Gsandbox & the Gswings & the Cladder & the Gslide
The secret Gplaces,   Dwhere we used to GhideG  
The secret Gplaces,   Dwhere we used to Ghide

[Verse 1]

G G C G

The light on the campfire is seen across the fields

G D G G

As we sit, talking of childhood

G G C G

Warm wine in the cup & the stories of friends

G D G G

All we know right now, is that this is good

C C D D

& the outside world cannot come in here

C C D D

Our hallow safe place

G G C G

Safe from the blades & the cold bayonets

G D G G

& the sunken, angry faces

[Chorus]

D D G G

Hey hey, we can play

C C D D

Through the backyards of our innocence

G G C G

The sandbox & the swings & the ladder & the slide

G D G G

The secret places, where we used to hide

[Verse 2]

G G C G

Laughter old friend it's good to see your face again

G D G G

It's been so long, since I heard your voice

G G C G

Sometimes we forget when the grey gets us down

G D G G

We are young . & still have a choice

C C D D

& the serious scenes & responsibilities

C C D D

weigh on our mind, till we are walking dead

G G C G

but to joy I raise a glass & let the time roll past

G D G G

all that matters is where together here you said

[Chorus]

D D G G

Hey hey, we can play

C C D D

Through the backyards of our innocence

G G C G

The sandbox & the swings & the ladder & the slide

G D G G

The secret places, where we used to hide

[Verse 3]

G G C G

As we share in remembrance of a lighter hour

G D G G

We bring, the playground back

G G C G

All the romping & the whistling & the crying & the kissing

G D G G

& our whole lives, inside a backpack

C C D D

Going through the boxes & the rooms of my mind

C C D D

Digging out the cobwebs on the wall

G G C G

O the bittersweet taste of the man I have become

G D G G

Fades & a young boy calls

[Chorus]

D D G G

Hey hey, we can play

C C D D

Through the backyards of our innocence

G G C G

The sandbox & the swings & the ladder & the slide

G D G G

The secret places, where we used to hide

G D G

The secret places, where we used to hide
