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
