Childhood

A9
Have you seen my Childhood?
   D/F#  E7/G
I'm searching for the world that I come from
   A9
'Cause I've been looking around
       D/F# E7
In the lost and found of my heart...


      Amaj9
No one understands me
        Bm7   E7sus4
They view it as such strange eccentricities...
 E7  Amaj9
'Cause I keep kidding around
    Em7/A  A7
Like a child, but pardon me...


Dmaj7  C#m7    Bm7 Amaj9
People say I'm not okay
  Bm7/E      E7  Amaj9
'Cause I love such elementary things...
     Dmaj7   C#m7    Bm7   Amaj9
It's been my fate to compensate,
        Gmaj13              Bm7/E E7
for the Childhood I've never known...


   Amaj9
Have you seen my Childhood?
   Bm7         E7sus4
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
E7     Amaj9
Like pirates and adventurous dreams,
        Em7/A A7
Of conquest and kings on the throne...


  Dmaj9(#11) C#m7 A/C#  Dmaj9(#11)C#m7   A/C#
Before you judge me, try hard to love me,
     Dmaj9(#11)       C#m7 A/C#  C6 Amaj9 D/E
Look within  your heart  then ask,
   Amaj9
Have you seen my Childhood?


Bmaj9 C#m7 F#7sus F#7 E/G# F#7/Bb Bmaj9 F#m7/B


Emaj7  Ebm7    C#m7         Bmaj9
People say I'm strange that way
  F#7      Bmaj9
'Cause I love such elementary things,
     Emaj7   Ebm7    C#m7  Bmaj7
It's been my fate to compensate,
        Amaj13   C#m7/F#  F#7
For the Childhood I've never known...

   B
Have you seen my Childhood?
   E/G#        C#m7/F#
I'm searching for that wonder in my youth
F#7 E/G#  F#7/Bb    Bmaj9
Like fantastical  stories to share
      F#m7/B  B/A Abm7 B7/F# 
The dreams I would dare, watch me fly...


   Emaj9(#11)   Ebm7   B/D#    Emaj9(#11) Ebm7    B/D#
Before you  judge me,  try hard to    love me.
      Emaj9(#11) Ebm7       Dmaj7  Bmaj9 C#m7/F#
The painful youth    I've had
   Bmaj9
Have you seen my Childhood...
