[Verse 1]
                Bb                                      F
When I think of all the times the world was ours for dreaming,
                Bb                                        F
When I think of all the times the earth seemed like our home,
 Dm           C                  Bb
Every heart alive with its own longing,
        Bb                          C
Every future we could ever hope to hold
 
     F                                   Bb
And all the times our laughter rang in summer,
 F                               Bb
All the times the rivers sang our tune,
     Gm            Bb               C
Was there already sadness in the sunlight?
       Gm         Bb              C
Some stormy story waiting to be told?
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb         F               C      Dm   C
Where, O where has the innocence gone?
Bb         F            C
Where, O where has it gone?
 Dm            C          F   C     Bb
Rains rolling down, wash away my memory
 Gm        C            F
Where, O where has it gone?
 
 
[Verse]
 
               Bb                                   F
When I think of all the joys, the times that we remember,
                Bb                              F
All the treasures we believed we’d never ever lose?
     Dm            C                 Bb
Too many days gone by without their meaning,
     Gm           Bb                    C
Too many darkened hours without their peace.
 
 
[Chorus]
 
Bb         F               C      Dm   C
Where, O where has the innocence gone?
Bb         F            C
Where, O where has it gone?
 Dm            C               F     C       Bb
Vows we once swore, now it's just this letting go,
 Gm        C            F
Where, O where has it gone?
 
Bb         F               C      Dm   C
Where, O where has the innocence gone?
Bb         F            C
Where, O where has it gone?
 Dm            C          F   C     Bb
Rains rolling down, wash away my memory
 Gm        C            F
Where, O where has it gone?
