Stay A Child(Chords)

	        

E 
I'm not a kid anymore 
E 
Well I wasn't before 
Cmaj7                             Am 
I grew up on my own behind locked doors 
E 
My house was empty, no walls 
E 
The ceilings endlessly tall 
Cmaj7                              Am 
And yet I felt I had no freedom at all 

          E 
And they'd say 
            D 
They'd come back for me one day 
         Cmaj7                    D 
And they told me it was gonna be okay 
           E 
And they'd lie 
            D 
When they'd look me straight in the eyes 
         Cmaj7                        D 
And they told me I had time to stay a child 
           E 
For a while 

E 
I'd make a breakfast for two 
E 
Pretend to give it to you 
    Cmaj7                   Am 
My imaginary friend I never knew 
E 
A friendly face in the morning 
E 
Would often serve as a warning 
        Cmaj7                           Am 
For the party dress my mother would be adorning 

          E 
And they'd say 
            D 
They'd come back for me one day 
         Cmaj7                    D 
And they told me it was gonna be okay 
           E 
And they'd lie 
            D 
When they'd look me straight in the eyes 
         Cmaj7                        D 
And they told me I had time to stay a child 

Cmaj7                E 
Sneaking out onto my roof at night 
Cmaj7                  E 
Hoping someday I might find 
    B          A 
Something to believe in 
    G#m                   F# 
The stars would help with grieving 

      E 
So I'd stay 
      D 
In my castle locked away 
  Cmaj7                            D 
A prisoner for the remainder of my days 
      E 
But at night 
         D 
When the moon was shining bright 
  Cmaj7                                       D 
I told myself there was something just out of sight 
       E 
Out of sight
