Crowded House - Even A Child

great song by neil finn and johnny marr ( smiths )
comes closest to the original when you keep you pink on G 3rd fret 1st string for Em ,
en C chords .

[ intro ]
D – G – D – Cadd9

G
i want to turn on the lights
i want to keep your hopes alive
F
so where do i begin
Em C
to help you believe again
G
makers of secret planes
keepers of our last remains
F
dream of a holy state
Em C
in a nightmare time
you know i meant it well
Am7 B7
but who was it meant to help?
Em
even the child knows you don’t waste it
D Em
a promise is only given once
Am7 Em
and there is no doubt that changes have begun
D Em
well , even a child knows that you can’t fake it
D Em
as long as the world is waking up
Am7 D
you are free now to recover your heart

[ verse ]
the stories left to write
the ebb and flow of my life
to justify the end
i’ll do everything i can
and it’s a dangerous game
i heard you tell someone
that you don’t care
but i don’t believe the message
and when you sing about love
what are you thinking of?
[ chorus ]
even a child knows you don’t waste it
as long as the world is waking up
and there is no doubt that changes have begun
well , even a child knows you don’t fake it
a promise is only given once
G
you are free now to go wherever you want
[ bridge ]
A Am
there’s nothing like waking up in some foreign town
B7 Em D G
and music , the call to prayer
A Am
is wailing out of speakers in the marketplace
B7
the first time
Em
even a child
( solo )

B7 Em
even a child knows you don’t waste it
B7 Em
a present can always be delivered twice
Am7 B7
you are free now to receive the gift of inside
D G
from now on let’s be open
D C
all in time , let’s breathe in
D G
Am i brave , you’re so brave
D C
Am i afraid , no , not afraid
D G
even the child
