I Spoke As A Child ( Version)(Chords)

	        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
