G#mWhich way to the fouF#ntain of my yEouth I wonder
G#mWhich way to the yeF#ars I've let go Eby
G#mLet a thirsty man drink in its meF#mories while the wEater still flows sweet and crystal clG#mear
F#For yesteryeEarD#m  
  C#mOh to see the sun's eclBipse
on the hoF#rizon like shC#mips 
sailing way away from hEere
Oh just oD#mne more time my dC#mear
Before I'll go hear me oBut
Cos of this tAhere ain't no dC#moubt
When it's time for curtain cBall
Just beF#fore the shadows...
G#mFall like a lF#eaf in the wEind on the ocean
Of bG#mlue like your eF#yes in the tEwilight theater
With syG#mmphonies plaF#ying in the wEorld without sound
We're gD#miven and deC#mnied
G#m/F#/ Ex2
G#mGive me back my inF#nocence cos I wEish to dream again
G#mLike I never outgrF#ew my old playgEround
G#mWhere the sun sets slowly with a gF#olden crown and the leaEves sing lullabies 'round vacant sG#mwings
F#Give me those wiEngsD#m  
C#mLet me fly once agBain
Like I dF#id way back wC#mhen
I would gamble and wEin
To lift me D#mhigh above the dC#min
Of the future we Bsee
Does it hAold something for C#mme
I'm weightless agBain
Just beF#fore the shadows...
G#mFall like a lF#eaf in the wEind on the ocean
Of bG#mlue like your eF#yes in the tEwilight theater
