Am              D
When I was young
G            C
We walked to school
F                  Dm           Bb                
And I carried your books 'cause even then 
         Am
I was a fool
Am              D
But you grew up 
G            C
And said goodbye
F                  Dm           Bb
I still remember the things that made me cry
 
            D       F#m
For all too soon my story ends
  G                         D   A
I found a love now not even friends
D       F#m      G                 A
Why loving you, loving me like you used to do

I was the child
 
Am              D
I held your hand 
G            C
And I told you things
F                  Dm           Bb
And I made you believe, believe in fairy tales
            D       F#m
For all too soon my story ends
  G                         D   A
I found a love now not even friends
D       F#m      G                 A
Why loving you, loving me like you used to do

I was the child
