Intro:  Dsus2 Asus4 Em7* Dsus2

Verse 1:
     Asus4
Aunt Clara kept her Bible right next to the phone
            G                         Dsus2   
In case she needed a quote, while she talked to someone
      Asus4
In my memory she smiles while the blessing is said
    G                     Dsus2
And visions of freeze tag dance through my head
              Asus4
She says I'll grow up big if I eat all my roast
     G                                                            Dsus2
I'll still believe in heaven but I won't believe in ghosts anymore
         Asus4                          G                  Dsus2
I'll put away childish things, I'll put away childish things

Verse 2: (same progression as first)
Every other weekend, age of 13
With my fishin pole and my Field and Stream
Ridin back home on the Trailways bus
I looked out the window til I saw too much
And I called my parents by their own first name
I played in the alley, but I didn't play the game anymore
I put away childish things, I put away childish things

Chorus:
Bm              G
The wolves howl all night long
D                   A
They won't stop and they won't go home
Bm         G           D   A
Beneath my window they run
Bm                 G
And probably it'll be alright
D             A
If I keep it locked up tight and
Em7      G             Dsus2
Wait til daylight comes

(solo chords same as chorus)

Verse 3:
Now my boy goes like a house on fire
He'll never burn out and he'll never retire
And I remember when I used to think like that
When I was young and the world was flat
But I'm 40 some years old now and man I don't care
All I want now is just a comfortable chair
And to sell all my stock and live on the coast
I dont believe in heaven but I still believe in ghosts
I've put away childish things, I've put away childish things,
I've put away childish things, I've put away childish things

repeat chorus
Em7           G        Dsus2
If I wait til daylight comes

Em7 G Dsus2 x2
