VERSE 1
********
When he was a baby they said
D
He had a future, you could take it as read
C
Mom and Dad will do all that they can
B7
So that when he's a man
Em
He'll be always ahead
But when he was a boy growing tall
D
His father said, "To hell with it all
C
If I stay I'll be old before time
B7
Son, I'm still in my prime
Em
Son, I'll give you a call"
------------------------
CHORUS
*******
G
But once he was a child full of grace
D
With a smile for the whole human race
C
Now his eyes only stare at the day
B7
Till the sun goes away
Em
To a happier place
G
Once he was a child full of fun
D
With a heart big enough for the sun
C
Now a freeze frame is all he can find
B7
And it stays in his mind
Em
And it shows what he's done
------------------------
VERSE 2
********
His mother did her best, but she fell
D
First the bottle then the boozers as well
C B7
Uncle Joe and Uncle Jim brought presents for him
Em
But he dreaded the sound of the bell
Till Uncle Mike brought the video round
D
And put it on just to drown out the sound
C
With tapes he could hire from a store
B7 Em
That had goodies galore in a room that he'd found
------------------------
VERSE 3
********
So the boy learned that love was a game
D
Women lose though they fight all the same
C
They get beaten again and again
B7
They feel terror and pain
Em
Then they carry the blame
And he learned to love cleavers and knives
D
Chainsaws and other men's wives
C
He learned to love blood on the floor
B7 Em
And he came to adore all the wasting of lives
------------------------
CHORUS
*******
G
But once he was a child full of grace
D
With a smile for the whole human race
C
Now his eyes only stare at the day
B7
Till the sun goes away
Em
To a happier place
G
Once he was a child full of fun
D
With a heart big enough for the sun
C
Now a freeze frame is all he can find
B7
And it stays in his mind
Em
And it shows what he's done
------------------------
VERSE 4
********
When they came and took him away
D
His mother was out for the day
C B7
The girl was thirteen, he'd seen her before
Em
And he thought she could star in his play
And it was just like the video said
D
She fought and she screamed and she bled
C
His pleasure was short, it was sweet
B7 Em
She was found on the street, where he'd left her for dead
------------------------
CHORUS
*******
G
But once he was a child full of grace
D
With a smile for the whole human race
C
Now his eyes only stare at the day
B7
Till the sun goes away
Em
To a happier place
G
Once he was a child full of fun
D
With a heart big enough for the sun
C
Now a freeze frame is all he can find
B7
And it stays in his mind
Em
And it shows what he's done
D
Now a freeze frame is all he can find
C B7
It stays in his mind
Em
And it shows what he's done
