G C G D

Cmaj7 G
When I was a child I dreamed like a child of wonder
C G
with my back to the grass my eyes to the sky to see
F C
G
I believed in the stars I knew they cast a spell that I was under
F C
With my fingers in the dirt, I was part of the earth
D
Every living thing was part of me
G
But it's gone
D
It's gone
Em
It's gone
Cm
it's gone
G C G
I can't feel it I can't feel it Must have gone away
C G
D
out my back door must have gone away out my back door
C G D
C
because it's gone
Em C
So I run into the street
Em
C
And I'm shouting into the phone asking everyone I meet
Em C

I say "Have you seen it on my doorstep did you see it in my car?
Have you seen it in the alley? Was it on the back of some guitar?
Is it sleeping in the hallway? Does it cry all night alone?

















D
Is it selling itself for money? Does it want- does it want to come home?
C G C G
I can't let it run away out my back door can't let it run away out my back
C G C
door Lord, if I look out there, if I look out there, every day
I can't let it run away , I can't let it run away, I can't let it run
away
Oh if I look out there every day
