[G]Everyone has d[Bm]ays li[C]ke I'm ha[G]ving
[C]Holdin on to any[G]thing that I c[D]an
[G]To keep myse[Bm]lf from anyt[C]hing but lau[G]ghing
[C]Looking back as f[G]ar as I can st[D]and
[C]Out my window wi[D]nter is almost o[G]ver
I can [Em]almost see the s[C]un behind these cl[G]ouds[D]
[C]Lookin' back on wh[D]ere I was one y[G]ear ago to[Em]day
[C]Laughing at the sh[D]ape I'm in n[G]ow.
Chorus:
[D]When I was a child I sp[C]oke as a ch[G]ild
But a[C]ll I heard was h[G]ow I should get a[D]head,
Now g[C]rowing up it ain't an[D]ything but a[G]ll
This inde[Em]cision with these de[C]bts and doubts
And worries [D]hanging over my head
When [C]I was a c[D]hild I s[G]poke as a c[Em]hild
I w[C]ish I could re[D]member 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
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
When I was a child I spoke as a child
God I wish I could remember what I said
