Intro: C G B7 Em

Chorus:
C                                 G
I wish that I could say, "I had a good childhood"
   B7                             Em
I guess I've got some memories of running through the woods, and I
C                             G
Believe I even built myself a tree house
   B7                             Em
But I can't find a photo where I'm smiling with my teeth out
  C                                 G
I wish I'd listened more to what my grandpa said
   B7                                   Em                             C
But I guess I got the gist of it, 'cause now and then I hear him in my head
                             G
And what he says is I should aim high
     B7                   Em                             C
That 99 percent of people never really live before they-
             G                    B7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
    Em                 D       C
Be so much better with my best friend
             G                    B7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
   Em                  D
Be so much better with you

Verse 1:
  C                          G
I wish I had another shot to grow up
    B7                                Em                 D
But have you living next to me, that's probably how it's supposed to be
    C                               G
But then I chose some folks in Minnesota
       B7                       Em                  D
Born into a quirky family, that tried their best to manage me
    C                            G
But I was always running from my own love
   B7                          Em              D               C
Or running from authorities, I really could've used your company
      G
On my street
     B7              Em
We'd sure be hard to beat

Chorus:
C                                 G
I wish that I could say, "I had a good childhood"
   B7                             Em
I guess I've got some memories of running through the woods, and I
C                             G
Believe I even built myself a tree house
   B7                             Em
But I can't find a photo where I'm smiling with my teeth out
  C                                 G
I wish I'd listened more to what my grandpa said
   B7                                   Em              D              C
But I guess I got the gist of it, 'cause now and then I hear him in my head
                             G
And what he says is I should aim high
     B7                   Em           D                C
That 99 percent of people never really live before they die
             G                    B7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
    Em                 D       C
Be so much better with my best friend
             G                    B7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
   Em                  D
Be so much better with you

Verse 2:
  C                          G
Was it heaven or hell? It gets harder to tell
    B7                        Em       D
But I guess I was living them bo-o-oth
       C                         G
Beauty, breaking my heart, being scared of the dark
      B7                          Em            D        C
Being scared to grow up, 'cause I would have to leave my mom
       G                      B7   Em
I just wish that I'd had you along

Chorus:
C                                 G
I wish that I could say, "I had a good childhood"
   B7                             Em
I guess I've got some memories of running through the woods, and I
C                             G
Believe I even built myself a tree house
   B7                             Em
But I can't find a photo where I'm smiling with my teeth out
  C                                 G
I wish I'd listened more to what my grandpa said -grandpa said-
   B7                                   Em              D              C
But I guess I got the gist of it, 'cause now and then I hear him in my head
                             G
And what he says is I should aim high -I should aim high-
     B7                   Em           D                C
That 99 percent of people never really live before they die
             G                    B7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
    Em                 D       C
Be so much better with my best friend
             G                    B7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
   Em                  D       C
Be so much better with my best friend
             G                    B7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
   Em                  D       C
Be so much better with my best friend -my best friend-
             G                    B7
Wish I could do it all again, but meet you when I'm ten
      Em               G
Be so much better with you
