Intro F#m7 E/F# (x4)

F#m7 A7

I recall when I was small

Dmaj7 E7 Dmaj7

How I spent my days alone

F#m7 A7

The busy world was not for me

Dmaj7 E7 Eb7 Dmaj7

So I went and found my own

F#sus4/C#

I would climb the garden wall

F#/B E/A C#/F#

With a candle in my hand

B/E Bbm7#5 Dmaj7 F#sus4/#C

I'd hide inside a hall of rock and sand

Bmaj7 E6 Eb7

A friend as real as I

CHORUS:

Dmaj7 A

Before the fall when they wrote it on the wall

Dmaj7 A

When there wasn't even any Hollywood

E Dmaj7

They heard the call

A

And they wrote it on the wall

D/G Gmaj7

For you and me we understood
