A Good Childhood Ukulele chords by Flora Cash

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

Chorus:

And I believe I even built myself a treehouse

    B
But meet you when I'm 10
   Em

Verse 2:
       C
Was it heaven or hell
        G
It gets harder to tell
      B                     Em
But I guess I was living in both
       C
Beauty breaking my heart
      G
Being scared of the dark
      B
Being scared to grow up
               Em               C
'Cause I would have to leave my mom
       G                     B      Em
I just wish that I'd had you along

Chorus:
  C                             G
I wish that I could say I had a good childhood
