N.C.                                                          C7
When I was young I didn't look at the clouds and hope for the rain

Verse 2:
N.C.                                            C7
When I was young I used to wake up early in the morning
                                                               G7
When I was young I could climb up a mountain didn't matter how tall
           C7                                 F7
When I was young I didn't listen to anybody's warning
           C7                    G7               C7
When I was young I could jump; I wasn't afraid to fall

Chorus:
G7 F#7 F7                        C7
          Well now I'm grown, and things are not exactly what they seem
F7                             G7
   The older I get, the less I know and the more I dream

Verse 3:
C7
When I was young I didn't worry about money in my pocket
C7                                                             G7
When I was young I didn't think I'd ever need to buy a diamond ring
           C7                                         F7
When I was young I used to put my heart in a cage and lock it
            C7                       G7                      C7
When I was young I could talk about love but I didn't know a thing

Chorus:

G7  F#7  F7                        C7
            But now I'm grown, and things are not exactly what they seem
F7                                   G7
   The bigger I get, the smaller the world, and the less it all means

Guitar Solo:
C7   C7    G7   C7   F7   C7   G7   C7

Verse 4:
C7
When I was young I used to say my prayers without the feelin'
C7
When I was young I didn't worry about the things I couldn't understand
C7                                                        F
When I was young I didn't know anything about hurtin' and healin'
           C7                       G7                     C7
When I was young I guess I didn't believe I'd ever be a man

Chorus:
C7  Bb7  F7                          C7
             But now I'm grown, and things are not exactly what they seem
F7                           G7
   I think about God - and I wonder does he think about me
