When I grow up to be a man

Like my father was when I was young

Verse:
G                       D    C
 What makes these people so different now
G                             C      D
 What makes these times so strange?
G                   D       C
 Seems most people got most everything they need
G                       C
 How come we see this change


Chorus:
D                               Em    Am
 Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
D                      Em            Am
 Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
G             C               D           G   C
 When will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer



Verse:

 When I was a boy, did we have more respect?
      G                     D       C
This world seemed a nicer place to be
     G                    D     C
But time slowly passes and one day you look around
     G              D        C
You hardly recognize what you see


Chorus:
D                               Em    Am
 Our sons and daughters seem to be beyond our control
D                      Em            Am
 Their smile is fading fast, they're losing their soul
G                 C               D           G   C
 Now when will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer

Bm                      E
 We're all sons of our fathers
Bm                    E
 Sometimes I feel like mine
F#m                          C#m
 And I can hear him say, the things I say
            E                    D
Seems all things come around in time

Guess that was then and this is now
G                      C
 We always knew that change was gonna come
       G                       C
But I want to go back, please tell me how

 When will we ever learn, yet I'm a believer
