I know a version of this song already exists, but my version is more

Bridge:

Riff1: 2x

Riff2: 4x

Verse 2:

--------

Riff2:

What happened to our innocense.

Did it go out of style?

Riff2:

Along with our naivete

No longer a child

Riff3:

Different eyes see different things

Different hearts beat on different strings

Riff3:

But there are times

For you and me when all such things agree.
