I Spoke as a Child
When changing from G to Em, walk the base line down from the
G note (3rd fret low E or 1st string), to F# (2nd fret 1st string)
to open 1st string (E note)
[G]Everyone[Bm] has d[C]ays lik[G]e I'm having
[C]Holdin on to [G]anything that I [D]can
[G]To keep [Bm]myself from[C] anything but [G]laughing
[C]Looking back as [G]far as I can[D] stand
[C]Out my window [D]winter is almost [G]over
I can [Em]almost see the [C]sun behind these [G]clou[D]ds
[C]Lookin' back on [D]where I was one[G] year ago to[Em]day
[C]Laughing at the [D]shape I'm in[G] now.
Chorus:
[D]When I was a child I [C]spoke as a[G] child
But a[C]ll I heard was [G]how I should get[D] ahead,
Now g[C]rowing up it ain't [D]anything but [G]all
[Em]This ind[C]ecision with these debts and doubts
And worries [D]hanging over my head
When [C]I was a [D]child I [G]spoke as a [Em]child
I w[C]ish I could [D]remember what I [G]said
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
