E A The innocence of sleeping children E D A/C# D Dressed in white and slowly dreaming E A E D A/C# D Stops all time I slow my steps and start to blur So many years have filled my heart I never thought I'd say those words Chorus: E Further we go A And older we grow E The more we know D A/C# D The less we show - x2 The very first time I saw your face I thought of a song and quickly changed the tune The very first time I touched your skin I thought of a story and rushed to reach the end too soon C D Oh, remember C D E Oh, please don't change So the fall came, thirteen years A shiny ring and how I could forget your name The air no longer in my throat Another perfect lie is choked But it always feels the same So they close together Dressed in red and yellow Innocent forever Sleeping children in their blue soft rooms still dream Chorus: The further we go and older we grow The more we know the less we show The further we go and older we grow The more we know the less we show You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA  C  C#  D  E  Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
