              Am              D 
When I was young,  
G            C 
We walked to school 
F                  Dm           Bb 
And I carried your books 'cause even then 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
