CGB7Em
[Chorus]
CG
I wish that I could say, "I had a good childhood"
B7Em
I guess I've got some memories of running through the woods, and I
CG
Believe I even built myself a tree house
B7Em
But I can't find a photo where I'm smiling with my teeth out
CG
I wish I'd listened more to what my grandpa said
B7EmC
But I guess I got the gist of it, 'cause now and then I hear him in my head
G
And what he says is I should aim high
B7EmC
That 99 percent of people never really live before they-
GB7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
EmDC
Be so much better with my best friend
GB7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
EmD
Be so much better with you
[Verse 1]
CG
I wish I had another shot to grow up
B7EmD
But have you living next to me, that's probably how it's supposed to be
CG
But then I chose some folks in Minnesota
B7EmD
Born into a quirky family, that tried their best to manage me
CG
But I was always running from my own love
B7EmDC
Or running from authorities, I really could've used your company
G
On my street
B7Em
We'd sure be hard to beat
[Chorus]
CG
I wish that I could say, "I had a good childhood"
B7Em
I guess I've got some memories of running through the woods, and I
CG
Believe I even built myself a tree house
B7Em
But I can't find a photo where I'm smiling with my teeth out
CG
I wish I'd listened more to what my grandpa said
B7EmDC
But I guess I got the gist of it, 'cause now and then I hear him in my head
G
And what he says is I should aim high
B7EmDC
That 99 percent of people never really live before they die
GB7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
EmDC
Be so much better with my best friend
GB7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
EmD
Be so much better with you
[Verse 2]
CG
Was it heaven or hell? It gets harder to tell
B7EmD
But I guess I was living them bo-o-oth
CG
Beauty, breaking my heart, being scared of the dark
B7EmDC
Being scared to grow up, 'cause I would have to leave my mom
GB7Em
I just wish that I'd had you along
[Chorus]
CG
I wish that I could say, "I had a good childhood"
B7Em
I guess I've got some memories of running through the woods, and I
CG
Believe I even built myself a tree house
B7Em
But I can't find a photo where I'm smiling with my teeth out
CG
I wish I'd listened more to what my grandpa said (grandpa said)
B7EmDC
But I guess I got the gist of it, 'cause now and then I hear him in my head
G
And what he says is I should aim high (I should aim high)
B7EmDC
That 99 percent of people never really live before they die
GB7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
EmDC
Be so much better with my best friend
GB7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
EmDC
Be so much better with my best friend
GB7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
EmDC
Be so much better with my best friend (my best friend)
GB7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
EmG
Be so much better with you
