[F] When I was young [Dm] I spoke [Cm] like a child [Bb] I saw with a [Am] child's eyes
And

It's [Dm] [F] funny how [Am] the world lives [Dm] up to [Bb] all [C] your expectations
[Gm] With adventures for the [F] stout of heart [Bb] and a lure of the [C] open spaces
There's two lanes running down this road
[Bb] Whichever [F] side you're on
Accounts for [Gm] where you want to [Bb] go
Or what [F] you're running from
