G             Bm    C        G
Everyone has days like I'm having

C               G             D
Holdin on to anything that I can

G           Bm          C           G
To keep myself from anything but laughing

C                G             D
Looking back as far as I can stand

C               D               G
Out my window winter is almost over

      Em              C                 G       D
I can almost see the sun behind these clouds

C                 D              G         Em
Lookin' back on where I was one year ago today

C                 D           G
Laughing at the shape I'm in now.
Chorus:
D                      C          G
When I was a child I spoke as a child

     C               G                D
But all I heard was how I should get ahead,

     C                    D           G
Now growing up it ain't anything but all

         Em                  C
This indecision with these debts and doubts

            D
And worries hanging over my head

     C        D       G          Em
When I was a child I spoke as a child

   C             D              G
I wish I could remember what I said
I'd like to find that old time feelin' Somewhere in between what I've become Somewhere down the line it must have seemed appealing So I suppose that it must work for some But I wanna go back to going crazy Believing every word that I was told You know sometimes growing up I think I'm getting wiser And then other times I think I'm getting old Chorus: When I was a child I spoke as a child But all I heard was how I should get ahead Now growing up it ain't anything but all this Indecision with these debts and doubts and Worries hangin' over my head When I was a child I spoke as a child I wish I could remember what I said When I was a child I spoke as a child God I wish I could remember what I said
