When I Was Younger

Intro: Am 



[Verso 1]
 
C                                                    Am 
I went out there searching for the end of the road that I was on 
C                                                                     Am 
But instead I just kept drifting from the path that I naively set out on 
F                                                     C    Am 
I was wandering slowly wandering slowly from where I was 
C                                                       Am 
There was no help to be found in the times that I was in 
C                                                        Am 
There was a time or two that I could have called it the end 
F                                                 C 
I was hanging on still hanging on still where I lie 
F                                                   Am 
I was wandering slowly wandering slowly towards the sky

     When I was younger I was up beside there 
              G                      Am 
He said to me son don't ever call my name 
         F                       C 
When the time comes I hope I can find you 
           G                        Am 
I wish to remind you when I'm home again 
             F           C             Am 
It'll be the last time I ever see you again 
 


[Verso 2]
 
C                                                          Am 
Still pressing onwards I found a gentle hole where I could rest 
C                                                               Am 
Finding shelter there I put my whits and my temptations to the test 
F                                                C 
There's not a soul here not a soul here like the rest 
F                                                  Am 
I could call it home here call it home here and be blessed

Am                                  F C G Am 
My thoughts were drifting down the road 
Am                                  F C G Am 
Where my mind lay wasn't told 
F            C                 G       D 
But still I'll remain 'till I'm old 
F               D              G 
Because in the end I'm my own best friend
