James McMurtry - Childish things

Aunt ^Asus4Clara kept her Bible right next to the phone In case she ^Gneeded a quote, while she ^Dsus2talked to someone In my ^Asus4memory she smiles while the blessing is said And ^Gvisions of freeze tag da^Dsus2nce in my head She says I'll ^Asus4grow up big if I eat all my roast I'll ^Gstill believe in heaven but I won't believe in ghosts an^Dsus2ymore I'll put ^Asus4away childish things, I'll put ^Gaway childish things ^Dsus2

Ever^Asus4y other weekend, age of thirteen With my ^Gfishin pole and my F^Dsus2ield and Stream Rid^Asus4in back home on the Trailways bus I ^Glooked out the window til I saw too^Dsus2 much And I ^Asus4called my parents by their own first name I ^Gplayed in the alley, but I didn't play the game anym^Dsus2ore I put ^Asus4away childish things, I put ^Gaway childish things ^Dsus2

^BmThe wolves howl ^Gall night long ^DThey won't stop and ^Athey won't go home ^BmBeneath my ^Gwindow they ^Drun ^{A Bm}And probably it'll ^Gbe alright ^DIf I keep it l^Aocked up tight and ^Em7Wait til ^Gdaylight comes^Dsus2

Now ^Asus4my boy goes like a house on fire He'll ^Gnever burn out and he'll ^Dsus2never retire And I ^Asus4remember when I used to think like that When ^GI was young and the ^Dsus2world was flat But I'm ^Asus440 some years old now and man I don't care ^GAll I want now is just a ^Dsus2comfortable chair And to ^Asus4sell all my stock and live on the coast I d^Gont believe in heaven but I still believe in ^Dsus2ghosts I've put ^Asus4away childish things, I've put ^Gaway childish things, I've put ^Asus4away childish things, I've put ^Gaway childish things ^Dsus2

^BmThe wolves howl ^Gall night long ^DThey won't stop and ^Athey won't go home ^BmBeneath my ^Gwindow they ^Drun ^{A Bm}And probably it'll ^Gbe alright ^DIf I keep it l^Aocked up tight and ^Em7Wait til ^Gdaylight comes^{Dsus2 Em7}If I wait til ^Gdaylight ^Dsus2comes
