Verse 1: 
 
A 
 
   When I was young I thought I had my own key 
C#m 
   I knew exactly what I wanted to be 
Dsus2     A 
Now   I'm sure 
                  B7    Dsus2 
You've boarded up every door 
 
Verse 2: 
 
A 
 
   Lived in a bubble days were never ending 
C#m 
   Was not concerned about what life was sending 
Dsus2       A 
Fantasy was real 
           B7                   Dsus2 
Now I know much about the way I feel 
 
Pre-chorus: 
 
B7                   Dsus2 
 
  I'll paint you the picture  
                       B7                 Dsus2 
'Cos I don't think you live round here no more 
                B7                  Dsus2 
I've never even seen the key to the door 
                 B7             Dsus2 
We only get what we will settle for 
 
Chorus: 
 
A             E 
 
  While we're living 
    G                D 
The dreams we had as children 
      A 
Fade away 
            E 
While we're living  
    G                D 
the dreams we had as children 
      A 
fade away 
            E 
While we're living  
    G                D 
the dreams we had as children 
     A 
fade away 
            E 
While we're living  
    G                D 
the dreams we had as children 
     Fmaj7    Dsus2    A    Asus2 A 
fade away,    away,    away 
          Fmaj7    Dsus2    A    Asus2 A  
they fade away,    away,    away 
 
Verse 3: 
 
Now my life has turned another corner 
I think it's only fair that I should warn yer 
Dream it while you can 
Maybe someday I'll make you understand
