Have you seen my Child-hood?

 -5   -5    7  -7   7   -8    -8 -8  -6b  -5
I'm search-ing for the world that I come from

   -6    7   -7   -7   8  8   8
'Cause I've been look-ing a-round

 7  7    8   -8   9    9  8  -7
In the lost and found of my heart

-6  7  -7  7    -7   -6
No one un-der-stands me

 -5   -5   7 -7   7     -8    8  -8  -8 -6b -5
They view it as such strange ec-cen-tric-i-ties

   -6  8  -7   -7   8  8   8
'Cause I keep kid-ding a-round

  7  7   8     -8  8   7  9
Like a child, but par-don me

 7   -8  -7  7  -6  -7 6
Peo-ple say I'm not o-kay

   -8  8  -7    7  -7 7  8   -8     9
'Cause I love such el-e-men-tary things

  7    7  -8  -7  7   -6  -7  6
It's been my fate to com-pen-sate,

 -7  7    -7    8   -7   -7  7   -7
For the Child-hood I’ve nev-er known

 -5   7   -7  9    -7    8
Have you seen my Child-hood?

 -5   -5    7   -7   7   -8  -8 -8 -6b -5
I'm search-ing for that won-der in my youth

               -7 -7  -7  8   8     8
Like pi-rates and ad-ven-tur-ous dreams,

 7  8    8    8    8   -7  7     9
Of con-quest and kings on the throne

 4  -7   -6   6    4   4   -7  -6   6   4
Be-fore you judge me, try hard to love me,

  4    4  -7  -6    6     5   4
Look with-in your heart then ask,

 -5   7   -7  9    -7    8
Have you seen my Child-hood?

(CHORUS)

 4  -7   -6   6    4   4   -7  -6   6   4
Be-fore you judge me, try hard to love me.

 -4  7    -7   -6   -5   -5
The pain-ful youth I've had

 -5   7   -7  9    -7    8
Have you seen my Child-hood
