When I was a child
   Bb          Bb
My nerves ran wild
       Gm
When I watched my friends
Gm                     Bb     Bb
Rise to the tops of the trees
         Bb       Bb
With the risk of fall
        Bb          Bb
I never climbed at all
      Gm   Gm
Every day I told myself
         Bb      Bb
“I’m not ready”

Chorus:
Gm  F            Bb

Verse 2:
    Bb       Bb
The older I get
         Bb          Bb
The more fears I collect
         Gm
I gather them from
Gm              Bb    Bb
All the people I meet
      Bb         Bb
Their stories reveal
              Bb               Bb
Regrets their smiles can’t conceal
        Gm
I carry them
  Gm             Bb
I carry them with me

What if the steps I take turn out to be mistakes?

How can somebody like me learn to say?
