F Am F F Everyone has days like I'm having F F G Holdin on to anything that I can F Am F F To keep myself from anything but laughing F F G Looking back as far as I can stand F G F Out my window winter is almost over Am F F G I can almost see the sun behind these clouds F G F Am Lookin' back on where I was one year ago today F G F Laughing at the shape I'm in now.
Chorus:
G F F When I was a child I spoke as a child F F G But all I heard was how I should get ahead, F G F Now growing up it ain't anything but all Am F This indecision with these debts and doubts G And worries hanging over my head F G F Am When I was a child I spoke as a child F G F 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
