I Spoke as a Child Todd Snider
E[D]veryone has [F#]days l[G]ike I'm h[D]aving,
Ho[G]ldin on to any[D]thing that I c[A]an,
[D]To keep my[F#]self from [G]anything but lau[D]ghing,
Loo[G]king back as f[D]ar as I can st[A]and.
O[G]ut my window wi[A]nter is almost o[D]ver,
I can [Bm]no more see the s[G]un behind these cl[D]ouds,
Lo[G]okin' back on wh[A]ere I was one y[D]ear [D/C#]ago tod[Bm]ay,
La[G]ughing at the s[A]hape I'm in n[D]ow.
W[A]hen I was a child I sp[G]oke as a ch[D]ild
But [Bm]all I heard was how I should get ah[A]ead,
Now gro[G]wing up it ain't any[A]thing but a[D]ll
[D/C#]This indec[Bm]ision with these d[G]ebts and doubts
And worries han[A]ging over my head.
When [G]I was a ch[A]ild I sp[D]oke a[D/C#]s a child[Bm],
I w[G]ish I could reme[A]mber what I sai[D]d.
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
