Verse
E
Little child, I have found
G#m
If I stood up and looked around
A E
I'd see a brand new face staring right back at me
E
I believe, I am sure
G#m
That I'm taller than I was before
A E
Building a brand new bridge into sincerity
[Chorus]
A B
But it's at times like this we must learn to grow
E A
Throw a penny for my children, they are going down
B E
When the light shines down much brighter, many souls are found
E A
And I can't believe what they're saying in the overground
B C [break]
Throw a penny for my children going down
[Middle 8]

At night I turn my face into the wind

And I whisper secretly (secretly)

What means the most to me and bring him close

Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aaaaaaah

Make it bad, make it good

Well, I see a velvet day breaking across the sky

I am taller than I was before

Building a brand new bridge, I know I'm gonna try
[Chorus]

But it's at times like this we must find out why

And I can't believe what they're saying in the overground
