As A Child Chords

[Intro]
G C G C
 
[Verse]
G
Let me just tell you
      C                     G
I really should go back to sleep
         G              C
It’s not that I’m ungrateful
  C                          G
I have too many memories to keep
 
G                                Dm  
I wish you could feel just how heavy 
               G
I am all the time
G
Sometimes when I smile
   C                     G
I bite my lip so I don’t cry
 
 
[Chorus]
    Am    D7
And it burns
      G      C
For a while
        Am
And it hurts all the more
           D                     G
When you carry the world as a child
 
 
[Verse]
G                            C  
All that I’ve wanted is to talk 
                   G
to someone who is dead
          G                 C      
But unfortunately I can’t call him 
             G
so I sing instead
G                         
Though I’d never tell you 
   Dm                  G
to cover yourself in a lie
G                            Dm     
But I will still bite my lip harder 
             G
so that I don’t cry
 
 
[Chorus]
     Am7  C
And it burns
      G    C
For a while
       Am
And it hurts all the more
           D                  G
When you carry the world as a child
 
 
[Bridge]
    Am    D          G
And I burn for myself
          Am
Cause I know that I should
           G*                     G
When it’s screaming at me to be felt
 
 
[Chorus]
         D7           G
And we burn all the time
          Am
Cause it hurts all the more
          D                  G
When we carry the world as a child
 
 
[Outro]
C          G
