As A Child

Tom: G

G 
All that Ive wanted is to

   Cadd9
talk
                     G
 to someone who’s dead

                            Cadd9
But Unfortunately I can’t call
                    G
him so I sing instead
                       D79
Id never tell you to cover
                 G
your self in a lie

But I will still bite my lip

Cadd9                    G
harder so that I don’t cry

         Am
And it burns
        G
for a while
        Am
And it hurts all the more
             D7
when you carry the world
         G
as a child


[Verse 2]
G                         Cadd9
Let me just tell you I really
                    G
should go back to sleep

It’s not that Im ungrateful
  Cadd9
I have just two many
               G
memories to keep

Iwish you could feel
     D79
how  heavy I am all the
G
 time

Sometimes when I smile
     Cadd9
I bite my lip
                 G
so that I don’t cry

        Am
And it burns
        G
for a while
         Am
And it hurts all the more
             D7
when you carry the world
       G
as a child

G Cadd9 Am D7


[Verse 3] *One Strum This Last Part*
       Am
And I burn
         G
For myself
        Am
And I know that it should
           D7
When it’s screaming at me
       G
to be felt
