E5 C
[Verso 1]
E5
I walk through streets I used to know
C
Where every dream was close at hand
G
Before the weight of broken vows
D
Before I learned to understand
Em
The world was wide the nights were kind
C
I never feared the falling rain
G
Every shadow felt alive
D
Before the scars, before the pain
[Pré-Refrão]
A5 C
I left my faith in open skies
C Am
Traded wonder for control
Am C
But something whispers deep inside
N.C.
A voice I thought I'd lost long ago
[Refrão]
Em
I wanna feel
C
Like a child again
G
With open eyes
D
And a fearless heart
Em
I wanna fall
C
Without knowing when
G
To believe in light
D
Before the dark
[Verso 2]
Em
I chased the truth in burning rooms
C
Where mirrors never told the same
G
I learned the rules I learned the lies
D
I learned how love can sound like blame
Em
But in the quiet I still hear
C
A simple song I used to sing
G
A fragile hope untouched by fear
D
A spark that still remembers spring
[Pré-Refrão]
Am C
I buried dreams beneath my skin
C Am
Called it stregnth, called it control
Am C
But the past keeps calling me
N.C.
Like a prayer I still knoooooooooow
[Refrão]
Em
I wanna feel
C
Like a child again
G
Unbroken words
D
On my tongue
Em
I wanna trust
C
Without defense
G
Before I learned
D
What I'd become
[Ponte]
Am Em
If innocence is just a flame
Em C
Then let it burn me one last time
C G
I'll trade these walls I built from shame
G Am
For open hands and open skies
Am Em
No crown, no cross, no grand design
Em C
Just truth without a disguise
C G
Let me forgot the cost of time
G N.C.
Let me see through younger eyes
[Refrão]
Em
I wanna feel
C
Like a child again
G
Where every wound can heal
D
I wanna stand
D
At the edge of then
Em C
And believe what's real
G D
If I fall let it be in light
Em C
If I break, let it be free
G D
For one last breath, one honest night
Outro

Like a child again
