Childhoods End

| G   D     | Am  Em    |

[Verse 1]
    Em
You shout in your sleep.
              A
Perhaps the price is just too steep.
           Em                      A
Is your conscience at rest if once put to the test?
       Em                              A
You awake with a start to just the beating of your heart.
                                       G     D        Em
Just one man beneath the sky, just two ears, just two eyes.

[Verse 2]
        Em                                   A
You set sail across the sea of long past thoughts and memories.
             Em                            A
Childhood's end, your fantasies merge with harsh realities.
         Em                                   A
And then as the sail is hoist, you find your eyes are growing moist.
                                           G         D     A          G  Em
All the fears never voiced say you have to make your final choice.

[Verse 3]
        Em                           A
Who are you and who am I to say we know the reason why?
          Em                            A
Some are born; some men die beneath one infinite sky.
             Em
There'll be war, there'll be peace.
           A
But everything one day will cease.
                                     G         D         Em
All the iron turned to rust; all the proud men turned to dust.
           A
And so all things time will mend.
G       D         Em
So this song will end.
