[B/E] When I w[E]as a boy
[B/E]all the books I r[E]ead
I f[A]ollowed like a blind man
to heed the words my father said.
Those g[E]olden summers f[B]aded into n[E]ight,
w[B]ords become a dr[E]eam,
the [A]echoes of my childhood
and w[B]here the path is winding.
M[G]ay God bless you,
k[F]eep you safe from all harm.[G]
Oh, may I stand by you [C]always.
T[G]ime and motion.
H[F]ands touch,
lips find a way[G] to heaven on [G/F]high. [F][Em/F][Dm/F][C/F][Dm/F]

W[B/E]atch the children pl[E]ay,
[B/E]the child becomes a m[E]an,
and [A]all the tangled webs we weave,
you swear it as we live and breath.
We s[E]tay together, d[B]eath until you p[E]art.
W[B]inner takes the pr[E]ize.
The [A]future's at your finger tips,
r[B]ight before your eyes.

[F]No more nights with no end. (I really learned a lot)
[G] I see my tom[C]orrows (smoke and mirrors)
[Am] And nothing from noth[E7]ing.
And ashes to ash[Am] es, they say.
[F] All the more that you reach[E7] out
the more that it runs[F] away.
[G] Smoke and mirr[F]ors.
[G] Smoke and mirr[C]ors.

That's all I ever got, smoke and mirrors.
