I Spoke As A Child

Todd Snider

 
 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
