I Spoke As A Child

E[G]veryone has day[Bm]s like [C]I'm having[G]

H[C]oldin on to anyth[G]ing that I can [D]

T[G]o keep myself[Bm] from anythin[C]g but laughin[G]g

L[C]ooking back as far[G] as I can stand[D]

O[C]ut my window wint[D]er is almost over[G]

I[Em] can almost see t[C]he sun behind these[G] clouds  [D]

L[C]ookin' back on wher[D]e I was one year[G] ago today [Em]

L[C]aughing at the shap[D]e I'm in now.[G]

W[D]hen I was a child I spok[C]e as a child[G]

B[C]ut all I heard wa[G]s how I should get[D] ahead,

N[C]ow growing up it ain't[D] anything but[G] all

T[Em]his indecision with t[C]hese debts and doubts

A[D]nd worries hanging over my head

W[C]hen I was [D]a child I[G] spoke as a [Em]child

I[C] wish I could r[D]emember what I s[G]aid

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

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
