Am7 G
C
When I was a boy I didn't know nothin',
Am7
Didn't have a care in the world,
G
I had innocence and ignorance of things,
Fmaj7
I wish I still did not know.
C
But no matter how far these songs take me,
Am7
If my dreams come true oh the heart aches break me,
G
No matter where I make my bed,
Fmaj7 G
I long for you.
