C          Dm
I was once a little girl
Em                   F
Wandering round this big round world
Em                    Dm
And I could make sense of everything
C/G
A rubix cube, a piece of string

C               Dm
Then one day, I asked my father
Em               F
Why do grown-ups all look rather sad
Em      Dm
Walking round with their heads
C
hanging down ( hanging down )


[Chorus]
Dm
What he said next
E
Got me upset
F
He said they forgot
C
How to smile
Dm
He said I should try
E
And hang on to the child
F
That lives inside my mind
G

[Verse 2]
C        Dm
So I walked all around
Em            Dm
Trying not to touch the ground
         C
With my eyes hanging down ( hanging down )


[Instrumental verse]


[Repeat chorus]

C        Dm
So I walked all around
Em            Dm
Trying not to touch the ground
         C
With my eyes hanging down ( hanging down )
