Wish I Was A Little Boy Again

C G    Am F    C G    C



[Verse 1]

C                G
Just a few short years ago
Am                  G
I played a lot with Bill and Joe
F                         G             C   G
They seemed to think that I was quite a guy
C                 G
I could climb the highest tree
    Am                G
And they would always follow me
       F                                G
We had friendship I thought would never die

[Verse 2]

C                   Bm
Then I changed from tomboy girl
    Am          G
And grew into a woman's world
    F           G              C       G
And moved away, leaving my old friends ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
C                 Bm
Now I'm miles and years away
    Am               G
But I still dream of childhood days
      F            G           C
And I wish I was a little boy again

[Chorus]

                      F
Cause girls grow into women
    G              C
And boys grow into men
                        F
And the world of make believe
G                 C
All too soon must end
      F                G
And I blame that awful change
        C                Am
For the shape my life is in
      F            G           C
How I wish I was a little boy again

[Verse 3]

C                 G
I married someone they don't know
    Am               G
And socially they're far below
    F                 G             C    G
The kind of life that I now have to live
    C                Bm
The man I married is cold to me
     Am                G
With all his wealth he just can't see
     F                                 G
That love cannot be bought you have to give

[Verse 4]

  C               Bm
I wish I'd chosen one of them
  Am             G
Instead of being here with him
   F                   G                C   G
If I could leave right now, I think I'd go
    C                    Bm
I'd trade this mansion I hate so
      Am                   G
For a small treehouse with Bill or Joe
  F            G           C
I wish I was a little boy again

[Chorus]

                      F
Cause girls grow into women
    G              C
And boys grow into men
                        F
And the world of make believe
G                 C
All too soon must end
      F                G
And I blame that awful change
        C                Am
For the shape my life is in
      F            G           C
How I wish I was a little boy again
      F            G           C   G  Am  F  C
How I wish I was a little boy again
