Not The Kid

Communist Daughter


Tom: Ebm

Intro: Hammeron to F# (breaths)

Verse: 
F#                      F#
When we were younger we had nothing to do
F#                                              Bb
so we'd close our eyes and spin around in circles
Eb min
happy to hit the ground 
                B
or happy to just fall down

When we were younger we'd go down to the park
we'd catch all the fireflies we'd put 'em in jars
we never knew that they'd die we never really thought that far

Chorus X1
F#                      B
I'm not the kid you knew
F#                      B
im not the kid you remember

When we were younger we were scared of the dark
so we closed our eyes we pulled the sheets over our heads
we didn't want to see what's there 
like the shadows under the bed

And now that I'm older I look back on those days
I wish I had them back cuz the shadows are gone
or at least they're not that strong 
as the shadows in my head

Chorus X2

Bridge:
Eb min  F#              C#                      B
In 1985 there was a picture taken with my name on it
B                       Eb min
climbin' an apple tree with blue shoes
C#                                      B
You'd think it was me I could swear it was you
