I Spoke As A Child

G             Bm    C        G
Everyone has days like I'm having
C               G             D
Holdin on to anything that I can
G           Bm          C       
To keep myself from anything but
    G
 laughing
C                G             D
Looking back as far as I can stand
C               D               G
Out my window winter is almost over
      Em              C       
I can almost see the sun behind 
          G       D
these clouds
C                 D              
Lookin' back on where I was one 
G         Em
year ago today
C                 D           G
Laughing at the shape I'm in now.

Chorus:
D                      C     
When I was a child I spoke as a 
     G
child
     C               G            
But all I heard was how I should 
    D
get ahead,
     C                    D       
Now growing up it ain't anything 
    G
but all
         Em                  C
This indecision with these debts and
 doubts
            D
And worries hanging over my head
     C        D       G      
When I was a child I spoke as a 
    Em
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
