[Verse 1]
[D]Childhood often seemed
a [G]pain [D]to me
[Bm]So hard [A]waiting to b[D]e grown
Childhood climbed up
[G]in a white oak [D]tree
[Bm]I blinked once[D] and it was gone

[Verse 2]
[D]
Airplane flyin' across [G]a midnight s[D]ky
[Bm]His tiny lights bl[A]inked off and on[D]
I watched him move across
[G]the moon on high
[D]Wel[Bm]l I blinked onc[A]e
and it was [D]gone

[Verse 3]
[A]Gone, [Bm]gone, yeah
[G]I blinked onc[A]e and it was gon[D]e

[Verse 4]
A girl I'd met was all [G]I cared for,
[D]friends

and she was [D]gone

[A]Gone, [Bm]gone, yeah
[G]I blinked onc[A]e and it was gone

[Bm]I blinked once[A] and it was gone

[Verse 7]
The nineteen seventies
[G]was ten long yea[D]rs
[Bm]Was ten long[A] years to sing a song[D]
It kicked off madly with a
