Chords in this song

Strum
D-DU-UDU
I  want to turn on the lights
 I want to keep your hopes alive
So  where do I begin
 To help  you believe again
Makers  of secret planes
 Keepers of our last remains
Dream  of a holy state
 In a nightmare  time
 You know I meant it well
 But who  was it meant to help?
 Even the child  knows you don't waste it
 A promise  is only  given once
 And there is  no doubt that changes have begun
 Well, even  a child  knows that you can't fake it
 As long  as the world  is waking up
 You are free  now to recover your heart
 The stories left to write
 The ebb and flow of my life
 To justify the end
 I'll do everything I can
 And it's a dangerous game
 I heard you tell someone
 That you don't care
 But I don't believe the message
 And when you sing about love
 What are you thinking of?
 Even a child knows you don't waste it
 As long as the world is waking up
 And there is no doubt that changes have begun
 Well, even a child knows you don't fake it
 A promise is only given once
 You are free now to go wherever you want
 There's nothing  like waking  up in some foreign town
 And music,  the call  to prayer
 Is wailing  out of speakers  in the marketplace
 The first  time
 Even a child
 (solo)
Even  a child  knows you don't waste it
A  present can always  be delivered twice
 You are free  now to receive the gift of inside
From  now on let's  be open
All  in time,  let's breathe in
Am  I brave,  you're so brave
Am  I afraid,  no, not afraid
Even  the child
