"When I..."
by Michael Trent
'The Winner'
C
When I... When I was a boy
F C
I was careless and I was foolish and I treated life as if it were a toy
F Am F
Yeah I was careless and I was foolish and I treated life as if it were a little baby's toy
G
Oh boy oh boy
C
When I... When I was a man
F C
I shoveled off my boyish ways and set about to learn the best I can
F Am F
But all the wicked ways of this old world were just so hard to understand
G
Oh man oh man
F G Am
But if you're stepping hard you're bound to make some noise
F G C
And if you're cryin' well then I hope you're overjoyed
F G Am
And if you're lacking let me give you what I have
G
'Cause I've got your back
C
On a common path
C F C F Am F G
C
When I... When I was in love
F C
I would count my blessings daily as it seemed they fell upon me from above
F Am F
But somehow time had tricked me to believing that it just wasn't enough
G
And I fucked it up
F G Am
But if you're stepping hard you're bound to make some noise
F G C
And if you're cryin' well then I hope you're overjoyed
F G Am
And if you're lacking let me give you what I have
G
'Cause I've got your back
F C
And I always have
