Child Chords

“Child” by Lights
Capo 2
 
G
What is this about?
                   C
Where is everybody going?
 
What am I doing here?
G                                    C
Can't separate what I really need to know and
 
What I just want to hear
G                                 C
Maybe I'm alone maybe everybody's lost too
 
Looking for their own way out
G                                     C
Maybe I don't know maybe I don't even want to
 
Just don't want to be let down
 
 
Em          C            Em          D
There is no sureness, I kind of just stumble along
Em            C          Em             D
There must be purpose in trying to keep on
 
 
C
What do I know, I'm a child
G              D
Just trying to talk like a mother does
C
Seeing life come and go all the time
G             D
It's never as long as you wish it was
C                   Em              D
Oh oh oh, maybe I'm still trying to see like a child does
 
 
G                                       C
And I always feel like I did when I was younger
 
Can't talk sense into me
G                                        C
How do you decide when to know or how to wonder
 
Or how to just get free
Em             C        Em           D
There's no certainty, I kind of just stumble along
Em             C       Em             D
Doesn't bother me, I'm trying to keep on
 
 
C
What do I know, I'm a child
G              D
Just trying to talk like a mother does
C
Seeing life come and go all the time
G             D
It's never as long as you wish it was
C                   Em              D
Oh oh oh, maybe I'm still trying to see like a child does
 
 
Am
I've seen both sides of the door
Em                          G
I'm not a child anymore but I can't stand in here
              D
The way I did when I was a kid
 
 
C
What do I know, I'm a child
G              D
Just trying to talk like a mother does
C
Seeing life come and go all the time
G             D
It's never as long as you wish it was
 
C
What do I know, I'm a child
G              D
Just trying to talk like a mother does
C
Seeing life come and go all the time
G             D
It's never as long as you wish it was
C                   Em              D
Oh oh oh, maybe I'm still trying to see like a child does
C                   Em              D
Oh oh oh, maybe I'm still trying to see like a child does
