Child of Summer Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]Always wanted to be
a child of summer
Maybe [F]that would change
my [G]disposi[C]tion
I've been running around
all these years
Praying [F]for some kind of [G]intermis[C]sion
And I never minded [F]loneliness
In fact, I [Am]craved it [G]like a [F]hunger
But now I find myself [C]alone again
And the sor[F]row [G]takes me [C]under

[Verse 2]
[C]Born under the full bright moon
I [F]guess that's what [G]made me [C]crazy
Wonder how our love could fade away
Per[F]haps we [G]just got [C]lazy
I never minded [F]loneliness
Un[Am]til [G]it came to claim m[F]e
So when I found myself [C]alone again
[F]I cried [G]like a [C]baby

[Verse 3]
[F]Oh, love[Am]
Keep the [F]weight off my shoulders
Keep the wind at my [G]back
Oh, [F]love[Am]
If [F]I'm not there,
am I on the right [G]track?

[Verse 4]
Are you still [C]wearing your blue raincoat?
The [F]one that's torn [G]at the [C]shoulder
We used to dance and laugh and sing
With [F]no thought of ever [G]growing [C]older
And I never needed
[F]reassurance
[Am]From some kind [G]of higher [F]power
But now I find myself [C]wondering
[F]In my [G]lonely [C]hour

[Verse 5]
And I keep [C]thinking there's
a place to go
[F]Somewhere I [G]can start [C]over
[F]I'll just [C]wander this big old world
End [F]up another [G]deadbeat [C]rover
But if I needed [F]company
[Am]Would you [G]be there to guide [F]me?
If there's no path for [C]me
to take
[F]Then I'll wait for [G]it to [C]find me

[Verse 6]
Oh, [F]love[Am]
Keep the [F]weight off my shoulders
Keep the wind at my [G]back
[F]Oh, love[Am]
If [F]I'm not there,
am I on the right track[G]?

[Verse 7]
Always [C]wanted to be a child of summer
Maybe [F]that would change my [G]disposition
