As A Child

G                      G                        G     G  
Let me just tell you I really should go back to sleep
G                             G                           G     G  
It’s not that I’m ungrateful, I have too many memories to keep
G                              Dm                 G    G  
I wish you could feel just how heavy I am all the time
G                        G                      G     G  
Sometimes when I smile I bite my lip so I don't cry
       Am  D7        G   G    G
And it burns for a while
       Am                          D7                   G    G    G
And it hurts all the more when you carry the world as a child


-nc-                                              G   G  
All that i've wanted is to talk to someone who is dead
    G                     G                      G   G  
But unfortunately I can’t call him, so i sing instead
G                     Dm7                 G  G  
I’d never tell you to cover yourself in a lie
G                            G                      G   G  
But I will still bite my lip harder so that I don't cry


       Am  D7       G    G    G
And it burns for a while
       Am                          D7                   G    G    G
And it hurts all the more when you carry the world as a child


      Am  D7       G  G   G
And i burn for myself
      Am                          D7                    G   G    G
Cuz i know that i should when its screaming at me to be felt
       Am D7        G  G   G
And we burn all the time
       Am                         D7                   G  G    G  G   G
And it hurts all the more when we carry the world as a child.     Mmhm
