     D         Em9  D  Em9 
The boy cried out
 D             Em9  D  Em9 
Gaily on the ground
D          Em9  D  Em9 
At the joy
D                    Em9  D  Em9 
of something he had found

Chorus:
    Asus2     G       F#m       G     Cmaj7
Aw, come on children, get your heads back together
    Asus2     G       F#m       G     Cmaj7
Aw, come on children, get your heads back together

     D   D             D        Gm  
The days are getting warmer now
     D   D               D        Gm   C D
The nights are getting shorter now
D                    C    D
And you know we can make it 'cause you
              C
know we're alive
D                      C     D                  C
But we don't have to take it, any way we'll survive

If I were you
I'd throw it far away-ay
But if you were me
You'd tell me I should stay-ay-ay

Chorus

Again. Again. Again and again and again.
Em9                    A7
Again, and again and again
Em9     A7     Em9
Again, again, again
