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       Bm    C      G
Everyone has days like I'm having
C            G               D 
Holdin on to anything that I can
G       Bm         C             G
To keep myself from anything but laughing
C               G           D
Looking back as far as I can stand
C             D                G
Out my window winter is almost over
      Em             C                G   D
I can almost see the sun behind these clouds
C               D              G           Em
Lookin' back on where I was one year ago today
C               D           G
Laughing at the shape I'm in now.

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