Gm G# Are you still in control of the boat that you row A# Cm Or do you still cling to me when its sinking Gm G# I never condemned you, I only consoled you A# Cm When candlelight made me a King Chorus: Fm G For the wide-eyed and laughing passed like a season G# Gm Cm Erasing a passion to sin Fm G For no one knew better than the tealeaves and the tarots G# Ddim G# D# Fm Cm That the wide-eyed and laughing were just one step ahead of the wind And the hearts that you played on the porch swing for me Was a song that I'd heard in the past For I had an audience somewhere inside you That applauded whenever you laughed Chorus Gm G# Gone is a word that I now rarely use A# Cm Though sometime in the course of a day Gm G# I go racing back like a man possessed Fm G By the wide-eyed and laughing daughters of some different age You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA#  Cm  D#  Ddim  Fm  G  Gm  G#  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
