Tom:
Am F C Am F C
[Verse 1]
F
For the joy of innocence
Am C
dreaming things that don't make sense
Cmaj7
Keep me as a child
F
And for the things we've left behind,
Am C
the space between our heart and mind
Cmaj7
Keep me as a child
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F C
For we've grown older than our God
Am F C
We've grown older than our God
[Chorus]
F
You are forever young
C Cmaj7
Bright morning star and unsetting sun
F C Cmaj7
You are forever young
Am F C
Hear our Father singing out to us
Am F C
When we've grown older than our God
[Verse 2]
F
For the gift of mountainside
Am C
Open fields and running wild
Cmaj7
Keep me as a child
F
And for the times we've locked our doors
Am C
Built up walls and started wars
Cmaj7
Keep me as a child
[Pre-Chorus]
Am F C
For we've grown older than our God
[Bridge 2x 2x]
F
Love is running, toward the shadows
Am C
Dying, rising, like an echo
F
Growing younger, in surrender
C
I'm letting go
[Chorus 2]
Am F C
Eternity is in His blood
Am F C
When we've grown older than our God
Am F C
Oh, eternity's running through my blood
Am F C
When we've grown older than our God
[Outro]
Am F C Am F C
