Tom: G5
Intro: G5 A5 x2
G5 A5
I was way - ward child
G5
With the weight of the world
A5
That I held deep inside
G5 A5
Life was a winding road
G5
And I learned many things
A5
Little ones shouldn't know
G5 A5
But I closed my eyes
G5
Steadied my feet on the ground
A5
Raised my head to the sky
G5 A5
And though time's rolled by
G5
Still I feel like that child
A5
As I look at the moon
G5
Maybe I grew up
A5
A little too soon
G5 A5 x4
G5 A5
Funny how one can learn
G5
To grow numb to the madness
A5
And block it away
G5 A5
I left the worst unsaid
G5
Let it all dissipate
A5
And I try to forget
G5 A5
As I closed my eyes
G5
Steadied my feet on the ground
A5
Raised my head to the sky
G5 A5
And though time's rolled by
G5
Still I feel like that child
A5
As I look at the moon
G5
Maybe I grew up
A5
A little too soon
G5 A5 x2
F5 G5
Nearing the edge
A5
Obvious I almost
G5
Fell right over
A5 G5
A part of me
A5
Will never be quite able
G5 A5
To feel stable
G5 A5
That woman-child falling inside
G5 A5
Was on the verge of fading
G5
Thankfully I
A5
Woke up in time
G5 A5
Guardian angel I
G5
Sail away on an ocean
A5
With you by my side
G5 A5
Orange clouds roll by
G5
They burn into your image
A5
And you're still alive
G5 A5
But I closed my eyes
G5
Steadied my feet on the ground
A5
Raised my head to the sky
G5 A5
And though time's rolled by
G5
Still I feel like that child
A5
As I look at the moon
G5
Maybe I grew up
A5
A little too soon
