[Verse 1]
 
A
   When I was young I thought I had my own key
Amaj7
   I knew exactly what I wanted to be
Dsus2     A
Now   I'm sure
                  B7    Dsus2
You've boarded up every door


[Verse 2]
 
A
   Lived in a bubble days were never ending
Amaj7
   Was not concerned about what life was sending
Dsus2       A
Fantasy was real
           B7                   Dsus2
Now I know much about the way I feel


[Pre-chorus]
 
B7                   Dsus2
  I'll paint you the picture 
                       B7                 Dsus2
'Cos I don't think you live round here no more
                B7                  Dsus2
I've never even seen the key to the door
                 B7             Dsus2
We only get what we will settle for


[Chorus]
 
A             E
  While we're living
    G                D
The dreams we had as children
      A
Fade away
            E
While we're living 
    G                D
the dreams we had as children
      A
fade away
            E
While we're living 
    G                D
the dreams we had as children
     A
fade away
            E
While we're living 
    G                D
the dreams we had as children
     Fmaj7    Dsus2    A    Asus2 A
fade away,    away,    away
          Fmaj7    Dsus2    A    Asus2 A 
they fade away,    away,    away


[Verse 3]
A 
Now my life has turned another corner
Amaj7
I think it's only fair that I should warn yer
Dsus2             A 
Dream it while you can
           B7               Dsus2
Maybe someday I'll make you understand


[Pre-chorus]
 
B7                   Dsus2
  I'll paint you the picture 
                       B7                 Dsus2
'Cos I don't think you live round here no more
                B7                  Dsus2
I've never even seen the key to the door
                 B7             Dsus2
We only get what we will settle for


[Chorus]
 
A             E
  While we're living
    G                D
The dreams we had as children
      A
Fade away
            E
While we're living 
    G                D
the dreams we had as children
      A
fade away
            E
While we're living 
    G                D
the dreams we had as children
     A
fade away
            E
While we're living 
    G                D
the dreams we had as children
     Fmaj7    Dsus2    A    Asus2 A
fade away,    away,    away
          Fmaj7    Dsus2    A    Asus2 A 
they fade away,    away,    away
