When We Were Very Young
(by Belle and Sebastien)
Em G D C
I can see mountains, I can see sky
I sometimes wish that I was blind
To all the futures
Em G A C
I walk on shaky ground
Nervous, I leave the house
In the dark before the dawn
C Em
I wish I could be content with the football scores
Am D
I wish I could be content with my daily chores
Dm G E7
With my daily worship
Last night, I was afraid
My head was locked in pain
I thought a person could go mad
But I thought about your way
I had a picture of your face
I was wishing you the best
I wish I could be content with the football scores
I wish I could be content with my daily chores
With my daily worship

When we were very young
We loved our selfish fun
We cared what people thought
You could not tell us then
How much we wouldn’t care
‘Bout all the mindless trivia
(Now we’ve got kids and dystopia)
I wish I could be content with the football scores
I wish I could be content with my daily chores
With my daily worship
I wish I could walk away from my scars and sores
I wish I could walk away from my ‘No one gets me’
From my sense of envy
I wish I could be content with the football scores
I wish I could be content with my daily chores
With my daily worship
