VERSE 1
Little [D]child, I have found
If I [F#m]stood up and looked around
I'd see a [G]brand new face staring right back at me[D]
I be[D]lieve, I am sure
That I'm [F#m]taller than I was before
Building a [G]brand new bridge into sincerity[D]
CHORUS
But it's at [G]times like this we must learn to [A]grow
Throw a [D]penny for my children, they are [G]going down
When the [A]light shines down much brighter, many [D]souls are found
And I [D]can't believe what they're saying in the [G]overground
A Bb [break]
Throw a penny for my children going down
MIDDLE 8
Bb [ch]Bb7/Ab[/ch]
Listen to the wise man as he breathes
He's really [Gm]loving me (loving me)
C7sus2 [ch]Cm/F[/ch]

Bbmaj7 [ch]Bb7/Ab[/ch]
At night I turn my face into the wind
And I whisper [Gm]secretly (secretly)

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aaaaaaah
VERSE 2
Make it [D]bad, make it good
Make it [F#m]easy to be understood
Well, I see a [G]velvet day breaking across the sky[D]
I be[D]lieve, I am sure
I am [F#m]taller than I was before
Building a [G]brand new bridge, I know I'm gonna try[D]
CHORUS
But it's at [G]times like this we must find out [A]why

And I [D]can't believe what they're saying in the [G]overground
