Innocence Lost

[ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ][ / / / / ]
     Bbmaj7			Eb/Bb
Gone away, the days of wish and wondering
     Bbmaj7		      Eb/Bb
Far away, like a vision in my mind
     Gm	      F#dim	Eb	       Bb/D
The child has grown and left me here alone
Cm7			        Eb/F
Looking back to what was left behind

Lullabyes and pennies in a wishing well
Sad goodbyes to friends of make believe
A love so pure, a treasure
  Db2	  Cm7		Bb  Cm7 Bb/D
Now buried in the sea of me

Refrain:
Eb		Bb/D	  Cm7		   Bbmaj7
Milton lost his paradise, Dorothy lost her way
Cm7		 Gm7	 Cm7		 Cm7/F
Vincent lost his sanity, Thomas lost his faith
Eb		Bb/D	     Cm7	       Gm7
Hoover lost the second time, Sigmund lost his friend
Cm7	       Gm7	      Cm7      /F     Bbmaj7 Eb/Bb Bbmaj7 Eb/Bb
Me, I lost my innocence and I want it back again

A tug-of-war is going on inside of me
A calloused heart that wants to make a change
While time prevails fighting tooth and nail
Keeping me set in my ways

Marco found the orient, Gepetto found his boy
Lincoln found a unity that Lee could not destroy
Lindy found the other side, Gershwin found the stage
Cm7	       Gm7		Cm7	 /F	  Bb/D
Me, I found a stubborness that seems to grow with age

     			 Eb				 Bb/D
As I dream of where I'll go, may I learn from where I've gone
			      Eb	 Fsus F
And take the memories that I hold into tomorrow

REFRAIN
  Cm7		Gm7		 Cm7	  /F	Gm7
...me I lost my innocence, and I want it back again
  Ab2		Cm7	    /F		 Bbmaj7 Eb/Bb Bbmaj7 Eb/Bb Bb
I had it once before and I want it back again
