Gm                                        G#
Are you still in control of the boat that you row
       A#                            Cm
Or do you still cling to me when its sinking
  Gm                             G#
I never condemned you, I only consoled you
      A#                   Cm
When candlelight made me a King

Chorus:
Fm                              G
For the wide-eyed and laughing passed like a season
  G#       Gm         Cm
Erasing a passion to sin
Fm                               G
For no one knew better than the tealeaves and the tarots
G#                     Ddim           G#       D#   Fm           Cm
That the wide-eyed and laughing were just one step ahead of the wind

And the hearts that you played on the porch swing for me
Was a song that I'd heard in the past
For I had an audience somewhere inside you
That applauded whenever you laughed

Chorus

Gm                               G#
Gone is a word that I now rarely use
A#                                 Cm
Though sometime in the course of a day
Gm                          G#
I go racing back like a man possessed
Fm                                              G
By the wide-eyed and laughing daughters of some different age
