E5 
   I walk through streets I used to know 
C 
  Where every dream was close at hand 
G 
  Before the weight of broken vows 
D 
  Before I learned to understand 
Em 
   The world was wide the nights were kind 
C 
  I never feared the falling rain 
G 
  Every shadow felt alive 
D 
  Before the scars, before the pain 
 

 
A5                        C 
  I left my faith in open skies 
       C          Am 
Traded wonder for control 
              Am              C 
But something whispers deep inside 
          N.C. 
A voice I thought I'd lost long ago 
 

 
        Em 
I wanna feel 
              C 
Like a child again 
          G 
With open eyes 
               D 
And a fearless heart 
        Em 
I wanna fall 
                C 
Without knowing when 
              G 
To believe in light 
           D 
Before the dark 
 

 
Em 
  I chased the truth in burning rooms 
C 
  Where mirrors never told the same 
G 
  I learned the rules I learned the lies 
D 
  I learned how love can sound like blame 
Em 
   But in the quiet I still hear 
C 
  A simple song I used to sing 
G 
  A fragile hope untouched by fear 
D 
  A spark that still remembers spring 
 

 
Am                           C 
  I buried dreams beneath my skin 
          C                   Am 
Called it stregnth, called it control 
        Am                 C 
But the past keeps calling me 
       N.C. 
Like a prayer I still knoooooooooow 
 

 
        Em 
I wanna feel 
              C 
Like a child again 
         G 
Unbroken words 
      D 
On my tongue 
        Em 
I wanna trust 
           C 
Without defense 
         G 
Before I learned 
           D 
What I'd become 
 

 
Am                        Em 
   If innocence is just a flame 
            Em               C 
Then let it burn me one last time 
                 C                  G 
I'll trade these walls I built from shame 
         G              Am 
For open hands and open skies 
   Am                          Em 
No crown, no cross, no grand design 
     Em                 C 
Just truth without a disguise 
          C               G 
Let me forgot the cost of time 
       G                   N.C. 
Let me see through younger eyes 
 

 
        Em 
I wanna feel 
              C 
Like a child again 
                      G 
Where every wound can heal 
        D 
I wanna stand 
       D 
At the edge of then 
Em                    C 
   And believe what's real 
     G                 D 
If I fall let it be in light 
     Em               C 
If I break, let it be free 
             G                  D 
For one last breath, one honest night 
 

Outro 
       N.C.             Em Am C 
Let me be who I used to be 
              Em  Am C 
Like a child again
