[Intro]
G C G D/F# x2
[Verse 1]
G C G C
Took my kids down, To the Playground
C D G D
By our old neighborhood
G C G C
From a park bench, I sat and watched them
C D G
And it sure did my heart good
D C
Seeing my children and their innocent ways
D C D G
it meant the world to me watching them play together
[Chorus]
C D G C
Smiling and giggling and laughing out loud
C D G C
Finding and losing themselves in the crowd
C D G D/F# C
Somewhere in their hearts theyll be children forever
C D G
And it starts when they play together
[Verse 2]
G C G C
By the big slide, sat a sad child
C D G D
In a wheelchair all alone
G C G C
And my heart stopped, as her quiet teardrops
C D G
Fell down one by one
D C
And I watched my youngest go an ask her her name
C C D G
And invite her over so they could all play together
[Chorus]
C D G C
Smiling and giggling and laughing out loud
C D G C
Finding and losing themselves in the crowd
C D G D/F# C
Somewhere in their hearts theyll be children forever
C D G
And it starts when they play together
[Bridge]
D C
Later that night, Ihad a dream
D C G
Of a world where children were boundless and free
D C
And I woke up knowing if it was to be
C D
It's up to you and me
G Bm
To help them play together
[Chorus]
C D G C
Smiling and giggling and laughing out loud
C D G C
Finding and losing themselves in the crowd
C D G D/F# C
Somewhere in their hearts theyll be children forever
C D G
And it starts when they play together
