I Spoke As A Child

D           F#    G        D
Everyone has days like I'm having,
  G             D             A
Holdin on to anything that I can,
D         F#        G               D
To keep myself from anything but laughing,
   G             D             A
Looking back as far as I can stand.
 G              A               D
Out my window winter is almost over,
      Bm               G                 D
I can no more see the sun behind these clouds,
  G               A              D   D/C#   Bm
Lookin' back on where I was one year ago today,
  G              A            D
Laughing at the shape I'm in now.

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

     G         A       D    D/C#     Bm
When I was a child I spoke as a child,
   G               A              D
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 semed 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.

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
