Verse 1:
                            Db
"Oh, to be a child again," they said
                                    Ab
To have a brand new heart and brand new head
                               Bbm
To find the smallest of all things exciting
                              Gb
To find the biggest of all things inviting
                            Db
"Oh, to be a child again," they said

At first, I thought it too
            Ab
But now I'm thinking
                                  Bbm
And I don't know if I do 'cause I'm just thinking
                     Ab        Gb
That maybe we don't miss being younger

Maybe we just miss the wonder
                     Ab
We miss the point of view

Chorus:
                   Db
But we can have it too

If we really try
        Ab
All you have to do

Is open your eyes
    Bbm
The world is just the same

As it has always been
    Gb
The beauty is alive

It's eager to be seen
            Db
So don't dismiss the colours

Don't dismiss the sounds
     Ab
Find comfort in the rain

Find magic in the clouds
          Bbm
As we get older

We fall into a spell
Ab  Gb
 To blame it on the world and not to look inside ourselves

Verse 2:
                           Db
"Oh to be a child again," they said
                           Ab
Look at them, they have no fears at all

They'll chase their dreams
                     Bbm
They'll get up if they fall

But I think the main component
         Gb
It's not bravery

I think it's just living in the moment
               Db
They don't get caught up in the future

Or caught up in the past
   Ab
Or caught up thinking about the things they don't already have
              Bbm
When you're a child

You don't wish your life away
   Gb
Or long for other times that isn't now, that's not today

Chorus:
       Db
And we can too

If we really try
        Ab
All you have to do

Is open your eyes
    Bbm
The world is just the same

As it has always been
    Gb
The beauty is alive

It's eager to be seen
            Db
So don't dismiss the colours

Don't dismiss the sounds
     Ab
Find comfort in the rain

Find magic in the clouds
          Bbm
As we get older

We fall into a spell
Ab  Gb
 To blame it on the world and not to look inside ourselves

Verse 3:
                 Gb
Look out of your window
              Ab
Look onto the street
                      Db
Think of those you've met
             Db                  Bbm
And think of those you've yet to meet
    Ab        Gb
The magic is around us
                       Ab
There's far more than enough
                          Db           Db                Bbm Ab
But I think that we don't notice it as much when we grow up
             Gb
Just take it in
Ab
Maybe then
                          Db   Ab Bbm Gb
You'll feel like a child again

Outro:
                   Db
Oh, to be a child again
