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
