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
