Intro: G D Em7 B7 C Cm6 G

Verse 1:
G             D                Em7
  I've seen it last for thirty years
        B7                C
Seen it bloom, then end in tears
             Cm6              G
I've seen it after school and in the park

G             D              Em7
  Sat right across me on the tube
        B7            C
Seen it miss a stop or two
        Cm6            G
Seen it trying not to fall apart

Chorus:
Em7              B7             Em7
   I've heard it laced in every song
              A7                 C
And still the words all come out wrong
           Cm6           G
It doesn't always answer when you call

G                D                     Em7
  Brings out the worst, brings out the best
       B7               C
I understand it less and less
            Cm6             G
I guess I'm not supposed to know it all

Bridge:
             C          D                  G      C   G
I've seen it dance with friends around the table
       C    D           G     C   G
In Eleanor, Rosie and Louise
                C      D               Em7
And it makes me cry to think that I am able
A7            Am7                     D7
   To give it back the way it gives to me

Verse 3:
G              D                Em7
  I've seen it grow old and forget
           B7          C
Until it's just a silhouette
             Cm6             G
Till someone picks it up and sends it on

G               D                    Em7
  I've seen the films, I've read the books
           B7              C
My mum and dad, they got me hooked
          Cm6                   G
The fairy tale, the search goes on and on

Chorus:
Em7            B7                Em7
  The more you look, the more you find
           A7               C
It's all around you all the time
             Cm6                G
Catches your eye, you blink and then it's gone

G                D                     Em7
  Brings out the worst, brings out the best
            B7             C
I know it's somewhere in my chest
             Cm6            G
I guess it's been inside me all along
