Verus 1:
             C/G
When I was young
           G    C/G
I rode my big wheel
        G   C/G
Down a big hill
           F
No helmet on
             C/G
When I was young
           G    C/G
I found a baby bird
          G  C/G
With no mother
           F
I took it in
            C/G    G C/G  G C/G F
When I was young OOOo OOOo

             C/G
When I was young
                  G    C/G
Thought I could breakdance
        G         C/G
In my parachute pants
          F
I was so cool
             C/G
When I was young
          G C/G
I had no money
            G C/G
Never went hungry
            F
Thank you, Mom

Chorus:
Am7
  As we go through the years
Em7
  Somehow those little fears
C/G
  Grow into something else
F
  Our older wiser selves
Am7
  So now I play it safe
Em7
  Oh, me of little faith
C/G
  C/Gould learn a thing or two
F
  From who I used to be
            C/G    G C/G  G C/G F
When I was young OOOo OOOo

Verus 2:
             C/G
When I was young
           G C/G
I had no regrets
         G C/G
No big secrets
            F
Except for one
           C/G
I liked a girl
          G   C/G
I never told her
         G C/G        F
She was older and popular

Chorus:
Am7
  As we go through the years

When I was young

And He was there
            F
I slept so well
