Intro:        G      Ax2
GI was way - ward Achild
With the weGight of the world
That I Aheld deep inside
GLife was a windAing road
And I learGned many things
Little oneAs shouldn't know
But I cloGsed my eyesA  
Steadied my Gfeet on the ground
Raised my head Ato the sky
And though time'Gs rolled byA  
Still I feGel like that child
As I looAk at the moon
GMaybe I grew up
A liAttle too soon
      G      Ax4
GFunny how one can Alearn
To grow nuGmb to the madness
And blocAk it away
GI left the worst Aunsaid
Let it all Gdissipate
And I try Ato forget
As I clGosed my eyesA

Tom:

G A

Intro: x2

G A

I was way - ward child

With the weight of the world

That I held deep inside

G A

Life was a winding road

And I learned many things

Little ones shouldn't know

G A

But I closed my eyes

Steadied my feet on the ground

Raised my head to the sky

G A

And though time's rolled by

Still I feel like that child

As I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up

A little too soon

G A

Funny how one can learn

To grow numb to the madness

And block it away

G A

I left the worst unsaid

Let it all dissipate

And I try to forget

G A

As I closed my eyes

Steadied my feet on the ground

Raised my head to the sky

G A

And though time's rolled by

Still I feel like that child

As I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up

A little too soon

G A

F G

Nearing the edge

Obvious I almost

Fell right over

A G

A part of me

Will never be quite able

G A

To feel stable

G A

That woman-child falling inside

G A

Was on the verge of fading

Thankfully I

Woke up in time

G A

Guardian angel I

Sail away on an ocean

With you by my side

G A

Orange clouds roll by

They burn into your image

And you're still alive

G A

But I closed my eyes

Steadied my feet on the ground

Raised my head to the sky

G A

And though time's rolled by

Still I feel like that child

As I look at the moon

Maybe I grew up

A little too soon

A G
