(Verse 1)
The [C]world is covered by our trails
[C]Scars we cover up [G]with paint
[Am]Watch them preach in [F]sour lies
I would ra[C]ther see the world through the e[F]yes of a child
Through the eyes of a ch[C]ild...
(Verse 2)
[C]Darker times will come and go
[C]Time you need to s[G]ee her smile
And [Am]mothers hands are [F]warm and mild
I would [C]rather feel this world through the s[F]kin of a child
Through the skin of a ch[C]ild...

(Verse 3)
[C]When a human strokes your skin
[C]That is when you [G]let them in
[Am]Let them in be[F]fore they go
I would ra[C]ther feel alive with a [F]childlike soul
With a childlike [C]soul...
