Intro: C , Fmaj7 , C


C
When I, When I was a boy
           Fmaj7
Well I was careless and I was foolish
                                   C
And I treated life as if it were a toy
           Fmaj7
Yeah I was careless and I was foolish
                                Am                  Fmaj7
And I treat life as if it were a little baby's toy
           G
Oh boy, oh boy

C
When I, when I was a man
       Fmaj7
Well I shouldered off my boyish ways
                                    C
And I set about to learn the best I can
    Fmaj7
And all the wicked ways of this old world
                          Am       Fmaj7
Were just so hard to understand
           G
Oh man, oh man



Chorus:
              Fmaj7
But if you're stepping hard
       G                  Am
you're bound to make some noise
              Fmaj7
And if you're crying
       G               C
Then I hope you're overjoyed
              Fmaj7
And if you're lacking
       G               Am
Let me give you what I have
                     G
'Cause I've got your back
                C
Well I'm coming back


C      Fmaj7  C      Fmaj7  Am     Fmaj7  G
Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh, Ooooh

C
When I, when I was in love
            Fmaj7
Man I would count my blessings daily
                                       C
'Cause it seems try fell upon me from above
       Fmaj7
Oh but somehow time had tricked me to believe it
                      Am
That it just wasn't enough
Fmaj7             G
Mmmmm I fucked it up, mmmm



Chorus:
              Fmaj7
But if you're stepping hard
       G                  Am
you're bound to make some noise
              Fmaj7
And if you're crying
       G               C
Then I hope you're overjoyed
              Fmaj7
And if you're lacking
       G               Am
Let me give you what I have
                     G
'Cause I've got your back
             Fmaj7
And I always have
