[Verse 1]
N.C.                                
                          C7
When I was young I didn't look at 
the clouds and hope for the rain
When I was young I didn't think 
these lights should ever bring me 
G7
sorrow
           C7                      
When I was young I thought someday 
                          F7
everybody's gonna know my name
           C7                      
When I was young the hardest work I
 G7                    C7
 had was waitin' for tomorrow

[Verse 2]
N.C.                                
            C7
When I was young I used to wake up 
early in the morning
When I was young I could climb up a 
                           G7
mountain didn't matter how tall
           C7                      
When I was young I didn't listen to
           F7
 anybody's warning

           C7                    
When I was young I could jump; I 
G7               C7
wasn't afraid to fall

[Chorus]
G7 F#7 F7                        
          Well now I'm grown, and 
C7
things are not exactly what they 
seem
F7                             G7
   The older I get, the less I know 
and the more I dream

[Verse 3]
C7
When I was young I didn't worry 
about money in my pocket
C7                                
When I was young I didn't think 
                             G7
I'd ever need to buy a diamond ring
           C7                    
When I was young I used to put my 
                     F7
heart in a cage and lock it
            C7                     
When I was young I could talk about
  G7                      C7
 love but I didn't know a thing

[Chorus]

G7  F#7  F7                      
            But now I'm grown, 
  C7
and things are not exactly what they
 seem
F7                                
   The bigger I get, the smaller 
   G7
the world, and the less it all means

[Verse 4]
C7
When I was young I used to say my 
prayers without the feelin'
C7
When I was young I didn't worry 
about the things I couldn't 
understand
C7                           
When I was young I didn't know 
                             F
anything about hurtin' and healin'
           C7                    
When I was young I guess I didn't 
   G7                     C7
believe I'd ever be a man

[Chorus]
C7  Bb7  F7                     
             But now I'm grown, 
     C7
and things are not exactly what they
 seem
F7                           G7
   I think about God - and I wonder 
does he think about me
