Sweet child of innocence

Living in the present tense

Father Time will take his toll

Rack your body and steal your soul
A                      G
What became of all the years
                            F#
Are you drowning in your tears
B                           A
Who will catch you when you fall
                            G#
Who will hear you when you call

[Chorus]

Who do you think you are
A                                         D E F# B
Try to live forever and you won't get far
B
I wait behind your door
A                                         D E F# Bm
Makes no difference if you're rich or poor
A                        G
Though you're weary and afraid
                         F#
Still you try to flee my blade
B                       A
Come and walk in my new land
                        G#
If you'll only take my hand

[Bridge]
C#m             A                       C#m         A
In the image of those who have walked before me here
C#m              A                 B
I am cast in the web of an ancient spell
A                        A
I am holding on to life, I'm drifting in the stream
A
Everything's much clearer now
A                                C#m
We live within a dream and never wake
