Verse
A
Little child, I have found
C#m
If I stood up and looked around
D A
I'd see a brand new face staring right back at me
A
I believe, I am sure
C#m
That I'm taller than I was before
D A
Building a brand new bridge into sincerity
[Chorus]
D E
But it's at times like this we must learn to grow
A D
Throw a penny for my children, they are going down
E A
When the light shines down much brighter, many souls are found
A D
And I can't believe what they're saying in the overground
E F [break]
Throw a penny for my children going down
[Middle 8]
F F7/Eb
Listen to the wise man as he breathes
Dm
He's really loving me (loving me)
G7sus2 Cm/C
He must be loving me (loving me)
Fmaj7 F7/Eb
At night I turn my face into the wind
Dm
And I whisper secretly (secretly)
G7sus2 Cm/C [Bb]
What means the most to me and bring him close
F C#
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-aaaaaaah
[Verse 2]
A
Make it bad, make it good
C#m
Make it easy to be understood
D A
Well, I see a velvet day breaking across the sky
A
I believe, I am sure
C#m
I am taller than I was before
D A
Building a brand new bridge, I know I'm gonna try
[Chorus]
D E
But it's at times like this we must find out why
A D
Throw a penny for my children, they are going down
E A
When the light shines down much brighter, many souls are found
A D
And I can't believe what they're saying in the overground
E [Bb] [break]
Throw a penny for my children going down
