E C#m
Conversation with the child who once believed in you
E C#m
How does one explain to him what it is you do
E C#m
He says Daddy Daddy please tell me it`s not true
B7/11 A
What all the people are saying....saying about you
E C#m
There comes a time when one must face the life that you have led
E C#m
That is a hard thing to do when lies is all that has been said
E C#m
And the blameless eyes of an innocent youth Is begging for you to tell the truth
B7/11 A
It`s such a hard way to learn....hard way to learn
E Db
This moment of truth will hurt for life
B A
Don`t need to tell you that ain`t right
E Db
Come now little boy don`t you cry
B A
`Cause the child in you is still alive
Chorus
E C#m
There comes a time in this child`s life when the boy becomes a man
E C#m
So many things from his past he now can understand
E C#m
Like all the times when Dad would leave and be gone for so long
B7/11
And he thought everything was all right
A
And he thought everything was all right
E Db
This moment of truth will hurt for life
B A
Don`t need to tell you that ain`t right
E Db
Come now little boy don`t you cry
B A
`Cause the child in you is still alive
E Db
This moment of truth will hurt for life
B A
Don`t need to tell you that ain`t right
E Db
Come now little boy don`t you cry
B A
`Cause the child in you is still alive
Such a hard way to learn......(REPETE)
