F                                 Dm                Bb
It's such a clever innocence with which you do your sorcery
   F              Am7                Bb                     C
As if somehow the years just bow and let that young girl go free
  Bb        C     F        Bb                F
I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
  Bb                   Am             Gm              C        A7/C#
I thought I knew where I was going until I heard your laughter flowing
    Dm            Bb             F      Bb  F
And came upon the wisdom in your eyes
    C       C/Bb     Am7    Gm7(11)   C
Surprise!


F                        Bb 
I've spent my whole life running 'round
F                  Bb
Chasing songs from town to town
F               Am                Bb                     C
Thinking I'd be free so long as I never let love slow me down
   Bb     C      F       Bb                F
So lonely and so wild until you turned and smiled
   Bb                Am7
By now I should have long been gone
    Gm              C         A7/C#
But here I am still looking on
   Dm          Bb                F    
As if I didn't know which way to run

Solo:
|C         |Bb        |Am        |D         |

|Dm        |Bb        |F         |C         |

F                                       Dm         Bb
It's such a clever innocence with which you show myself to me
F                     Am7            Bb                   C
As if you know how it feels to never be who you wanted to be
  Bb        C     F        Bb                F
I thought I was a child until you turned and smiled
  Bb                 Am                Gm             C       A7/C#
I thought that I was free but I'm just one more prisoner of time
  Dm             Bb               F
Alone within the boundaries of my mind

I thought I was a child
