Runnin’ around the house, 3 years old

Mom and dad, you’d chase me around

Sing me nursery rhymes, push me on the swings
Am G F C G
On our farm I would laugh and play

To ride my bike, and when there were no leaves

The ground was white, I learned how to skate

You remind me to stay strong

You’re the best
[VERSE 2]
F C
Now I’m 11 and comin’ home cryin'
G Am G F
The kids are so mean, I don’t understand

So I moved schools again and by 14

Thought it’d get better but it kept happening
[PRE-CHORUS 2]

You’d wipe my tears away, tell me I’d be okay
