I Want to be
Eight Again G G I want to chase butterfly's under mountainous skies, G Collapse on the grass and then... Am C I want to be free of my troubles and woes, Am C I want to dirty my favourite clothes, Am C I want to lie on the ground; hear every sound, D Kick at the sky with my toes. G I want to be eight again, I want to be nine or ten, I want to be just like a child, that is happy and wild, Go back to that moment when... Every day was a pleasure reborn, When the world didn’t threaten and warn, When the thoughts in my head, were for stories I’d read, And lived out each day on the lawn. G I want to be eight again, I want to be eight again. Am C I want to live without any regrets, Am C Stop counting what everyone gets, Am C Act like a clown; spin ‘round and ‘round, D Follow the vapor of jets. G I want to be eight again, I want to be eight again. BREAK USES 'G' CHORD ONLY - THEN... Act like a clown; spin ‘round and ‘round, D Follow the vapor of jets...
G I want to sing out of tune, rhyme silvery moon, With June or spoon, and then... I want to shed all my covers and skins, And remember when I had no sins! Stop dragging my cross, forget profit and loss, In a world where nobody wins! I want to be eight again, I want to be eight again. CHORUS CODA: I want to be eight again. I’ll even settle for nine or ten. G I want to be eight again.
