Intro: Fmaj7 C/G G G x3 Am7 G
C
When I was a boy I didn't know nothin',

Am7
Didn't have a care in the world,

      G
I had innocence and ignorance of things,

               Fmaj7
I wish I still did not know.

       C
But no matter how far these songs take me,

       Am7
If my dreams come true oh the heart aches break me,

   G
No matter where I make my bed,

       Fmaj7        G
I long for you.

C
We've all got a story frozen in time,

Am7
Places and people, livin' and dyin'

    G
The heart beats and breathe and just tryin'

                    Fmaj7
To make sense of it all

         C
I am the second born of my mother and father

       Am7
He's a lion hearted man, she's a Jesus lovin' woman
