I Spoke As A Child(Chords)

	        D           F#    G        D 
Everyone has days like I'm having,  
  G             D             A 
Holdin on to anything that I can,  
D         F#        G               D 
To keep myself from anything but laughing,  
   G             D             A     
Looking back as far as I can stand.  
 G              A               D 
Out my window winter is almost over,  
      Bm               G                 D 
I can no more see the sun behind these clouds,  
  G               A              D   D/C#   Bm 
Lookin' back on where I was one year ago today,  
  G              A            D 
Laughing at the shape I'm in now.  
 
  
 A                     G          D 
When I was a child I spoke as a child  
    Bm                                 A 
But all I heard was how I should get ahead,  
       G                   A          D 
Now growing up it ain't anything but all  
D/C#      Bm                G 
This indecision with these debts and doubts  
               A 
And worries hanging over my head.  
 
  
     G         A       D    D/C#     Bm 
When I was a child I spoke as a child,  
   G               A              D 
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 semed 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.  
  
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
