E                              C#m 
Conversation with the child who once believed in you 
 E                          C#m  
How does one explain to him what it is you do 
      E                  C#m  
He says Daddy Daddy please tell me it's not true 
             B7/11                  A 
What all the people are saying....saying about you 
 

       E                                   C#m 
There comes a time when one must face the life that you have led 
           E                    C#m 
That is a hard thing to do when lies is all that has been said 
        E                                      C#m 
And the blameless eyes of an innocent youth Is begging for you to tell the truth 
            B7/11                A 
It's such a hard way to learn....hard way to learn 
 

     E                                 Db 
This moment of truth will hurt for life 
 B                                  A 
Don't need to tell you that ain't right 
E                                Db 
Come now little boy don't you cry 
B                                   A 
'Cause the child in you is still alive 
 
Chorus 
       E                                         C#m 
There comes a time in this child's life when the boy becomes a man 
E                               C#m 
So many things from his past he now can understand 
     E                                         C#m 
Like all the times when Dad would leave and be gone for so long 
    B7/11 
And he thought everything was all right 
    A 
And he thought everything was all right 
 

     E                                 Db 
This moment of truth will hurt for life 
 B                                  A 
Don't need to tell you that ain't right 
E                                Db 
Come now little boy don't you cry 

B                                   A 
'Cause the child in you is still alive 
 
 
     E                                 Db 
This moment of truth will hurt for life 
 B                                  A 
Don't need to tell you that ain't right 
E                                Db 
Come now little boy don't you cry 
B                                   A 
'Cause the child in you is still alive 

Such a hard way to learn......(REPETE)
