Your Childhood

[Verse 1]

C
From birth to five, you're learning
Am
From five to ten, you're playing
Dm
By the time you're fifteen
G
You're never wrong
Dm
But then you turn around
G                  C
And it's all gone, your childhood
C
Now daddy knows what he's saying
Am
You're in my arms and I'm praying
Dm                     G
That I'll be given the strength and time
  Dm                  G
To make yours just as happy as mine
C
Your childhood


[Verse 2]

C
 Every morning

Your crying ends my sleep
Am
 I kid on I'm angry
                       Dm
But it's not a feeling I can keep
F
 There's no light outside
                     G
I don't care 'cause I know it's true

 That in our house
   C                   C7
The sun shines out of you


[Verse 3]

            F
Well you've got your mother's looks

Your're a beautiful little girl
       Dm
You'll break boys hearts

All over this world
     G
Then one day you'll walk out the door
                  C
And I know you'll break mine
       G
You'll break mine


[Verse 4]

C
From birth to five, you're learning
Am
From five to ten, you're playing
       Dm                         G
By the time you're fifteen you're never wrong
         Dm              G
Then you turn around and it's all gone
    C            G
Your childhood

F
 So you're trying to talk

Any day now you'll walk
C
 You'll be running around

Make me act like a clown
Dm                  C
 'cause I live and I breathe
             G
For my little girl
          G
Our little girl
          G
The most important thing is this whole wide world
