Wilco - If I Ever Was A Child Chords

[Intro]
D


[Verse 1]
D               Am
I've never been alone
               G
Long enough to know
                D
If I ever was a child


D                    Am
I was tied up like a boat
                   G
On a button like a coat
               D
Set free for a while


[Chorus]
    Em                     Gm
I'd jump to jolt my clumsy blood
         D            A   
While my white, green eyes


[Verse 2]
D                 Am
Cry like a window pane
                  G
Can my cold heart change
            D
Even out of spite?


[Solo]
D Am G D


[Chorus]
  Em            Gm              D
I saw behind my brain a haunted stain
         A
It never fades
  Em                   Gm         A
I hunt for the kind of pain I can take


[Verse 3]
      D                 Am
And I cry like a window pane
                  G
Can my cold heart change
     D
Over night?
   
   D                    Am
So I won't ever want to touch
               G
Your heart too much
                D
Or hold you too tight

[Chorus]
  Em            Gm              D
I saw behind my brain a haunted stain
          A
I'll never fade
  Em                   Gm         A
I hunt for the kind of pain I can take

[Coda]
D           Am
I never was alone
               G
Long enough to know
                D 
If I ever was a child
