Chords with lyrics
Chorus:
C G
I wish that I could say I had a good childhood
B Em
I guess I've got some memories of running through the woods
C G
And I believe I even built myself a treehouse
B Em
But I can't find a photo where I'm smiling with my teeth out
C G
I wish I'd listened more to what my grandpa said
B
But I guess I got the gist of it
Em C
'Cause now and then I hear him in my head
G
And what he says is I should aim high
B Em C
"'Cause 99 percent of people never really live before they"
Post-Chorus:
G
Wish I could do it all again
B
But meet you when I'm 10
Em C
Be so much better with my best friend
G
Wish I could do it all again
B
But meet you when I'm 10
Em
Be so much better with you
Verse 1:
C G
I wish I had another shot to grow up
B
But have you living next to me
Em
That's probably how it's supposed to be
C G
But then I chose some folks in Minnesota
B
Born into a quirky family
Em
They tried their best to manage me
C G
But I was always running from my own love
B
Or running from authorities
Em
I really could've used your
C
Company
G
On my street
B
We'd sure
Em
Be hard to beat

Verse 2:
C
Was it heaven or hell
G
It gets harder to tell
B Em
But I guess I was living in both

Beauty breaking my heart

Being scared of the dark

Being scared to grow up

'Cause I would have to leave my mom

I just wish that I'd had you along
