Bb F


[Verse 1]
         Bb
Well, we took a train to kensington
    Bb
And listened to the children run
                F
Just beyond the garden gate
                F
Where peter and wendy played

             Bb
There was a sign that said we weren't allowed
   Bb
To duck inside and join the crowd
                  F
Without a son or daughter's hand
                F
To lead us into neverland


[Chorus]
                  Dm  F
And it hurt so bad
                             Bb
But it's so good to be young
                            Dm F
And I don't want to go back
                  Bb
I just want to go on and on and on
Bb                     F
Day by day, day by day


[Verse 2]
         Bb
Oh, and everybody's so surprised
     Bb
When right before your very eyes
                   F
Your baby's in the second grade
                       F
You blink and it's her wedding day

             Bb
Well we just can't get used to being here
          Bb
Where the ticking clock is loud and clear
              F
Children of eternity
                 F
On the run from entropy


[Chorus]
                  Dm  F
And it hurt so bad
                             Bb
But it's so good to be young
                            Dm F
And I don't want to go back
                  Bb
I just want to go on and on and on

   F                Bb
So don't lose heart
                   F            Bb
Though your body's wasting away
        F
Your soul is not
     Bb
It's being remade
C                 Bb                     F
Day by day by day, day by day, day by day


[Verse 3]
               Bb
Well, you have never met a single soul
    Bb
Who didn't feel the curse's toll
                     F
Who didn't wish that death would die
                       F
Well maybe that's the reason why


[Chorus]
                  Dm F
I can hurt so bad
                             Bb
But it's so good to be young
                            Dm F
And I don't want to go back
                  Bb                Bb
I just want to go on and on and on, on and on and on

   F               Bb
So don't lose heart
                   F            Bb
Though your body's wasting away
     F
Your soul is not
     Bb
It's being remade
C                Bb
Don't lose heart
   C               Bb
No don't lose heart
     F                  Bb
Your body will rise and never decay
C                 Bb                      F
Day by day by day. day by day, day by day
Bb
Day by day
