I Thought I Was a Child Chords by Jackson Browne

[F] _ _ _ _ [Dm] _ _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ [Am] _ _ [F] _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _
_ [Gm] _ _ [F] _ _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _
_ [Bb] _ _ [Am] _ _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _
[Gm] _ [Am] _ [Dm] _ [C] _ [Bb] _ [F] _ _ _
_ [Bb] _ [F] It's such a clever innocence [Dm] with which you [Bb] do your [F] sorcery
As if [Am] somehow the years just [Bb] bow and let that young girl [C] go free.
[Bb] I thought I [F] was a child
[Bb] Until you [F] turned and smiled
[Bb] I thought [Am] I knew where [C] I was [Bb] going
[Gm] Until I [C] heard your laughter [Dm] flowing
And [Bb] came upon the wisdom in [F] your eyes
_ _ [C] Surprise!
[Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ [Gm] _ [F] _ Spent my [Bb] whole life running around
[F] Chasing [Bb] songs from town to town
[F] Thinking [Am] I'd be free so [Bb] long as I never let [C] love slow me [Bb] down
So [F] lonely and so [Bb] wild
Until you [F] turned and smiled
[Bb] By now I [Am] should have long been [Gm] gone
But here I [C] am still looking [Dm] on
As if I [Bb] didn't know [F] which way to run
_ _ [C] _ _ [F] _ [Bb] _
[Am] _ _ [D] _ [G] _ [Gm] _ _ [C] _ [F] _
_ _ [A] _ _ [Dm] _ [C] _ [Bb] _ [Dm] _
_ [C] _ [Bb] _ [Dm] _ _ [C] _ [Bb] _ _
[F] _ _ [C] _ _ [F] It's such a clever innocence
[Dm] With which you [Bb] show myself [F] to me
As if you [Am] know how it feels to [Bb] never [F] be who you [C] wanted to be
[Bb] I [D] thought I [F] was a [Bb] child
[C] Until you [F] turned and smiled
[Bb] I thought that [Am] I was free
But [Gm] I'm just one more [C] prisoner [Am] of [Dm] time
[C] Alone [Bb] within the boundaries [F] of my [Bb] [F] mind
_ [Bb] _ _ [F] _ _
[Gm] _ [Bb] _ [C] _ _ [Bb] I [C] thought I [G] was a child _ _ _ _ _
