The End of the Innocence chords
Don Henley 1989 (The End of the Innocence)
Capo I
2x
I remember when the days were long,
and rolled beneath a deep blue sky
Didn t have a care in the world,
with mommy and daddy standing by
But happily ever after fails,
and we ve been poisoned by these fairy tales
The lawyers dwell on small details,
since daddy had to fly
Ah, but I know a place where we can go,
that s still untouched by man
We ll sit and watch the clouds go by,
and the tall grass wave in the wind
You can lay your head back on the ground,
and let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense,
but this is the end, this is the end
of the innocence
Oh beautiful for spacious skies,
but now those skies are threatening
They re beating plowshares into swords,
for this tired old man that we elected king
Armchair warriors often fail,
and we ve been poisoned by these fairytales
The lawyers clean up all details,
since daddy had to lie
Ah, but I know a place where we can go,
that s still untouched by man
We ll sit and watch the clouds go by,
and the tall grass wave in the wind
You can lay your head back on the ground,
and let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense,
but this is the end, this is the end
of the innocence
Who knows how long this will last,
or how we ve come so far so fast
But somewhere back there in the dust,
that same small town in each of us
I need to remember this,
so baby give me just one kiss
And let me take a long last look,
before we say goodbye
Just lay your head back on the ground,
and let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense,
but this is the end, this is the end,
of the innocence
