[Verse 1]
G C G C G
The scariest thing I ever heard, was a three-year-old mouth the words, I want to be like you, someday
D C G C G
It got me to thinking that maybe I should change my ways
[Verse 2]
G C G C G
I’m watching every line because they love to memorize, everything I say
D C G C G
I should probably watch the words I sing
[Chorus]
Em C G C G
Ohhh, the innocence of a child
Em C G C G
Never ashamed to let their thoughts run wild
Em C G C G
Ohhh I wish I could be that kind
Em C G C G
I wish I could see the world through your eyes
[Verse 3]
G C G C G
I love that childlike faith, the kind that no one should take away, I think I had, once before
D C G C G
Got me to thinking that maybe I should pray a little more
[Chorus]
Em C G C G
Ohhh, the innocence of a child
Em C G C G
Never ashamed to let their thoughts run wild
Em C G C G
Ohhh I wish I could be that kind
Em C G C G
I wish I could see the world through your eyes
[Verse 4]
G C G C G
It’s a phone call when I am alone, asking me, when I’m going to come home, again
D C G C G
Got me to thinking I need to spend a little more time with them
[Chorus]
Em C G C G
Ohhh, the innocence of a child
Em C G C G
Never ashamed to let their thoughts run wild
Em C G C G
Ohhh I wish I could be that kind
Em C G C G
I wish I could see the world through your eyes
Em C G C G
I wish I could see the world through your eyes
