     Dm             A#
When I was a kid, I made a book
  F                  C
Planning out how my future would look
Dm                     A#
I drew in pictures of houses with views
      F                          C
Two swings in the backyard, one pink and one blue
 Dm                    A#
Now that I'm older, I wish I could see
   F                      C
A world where that still made sense to me

Chorus:
                     Dm      C   A#
'Cause if my future kids end up like me
                     F            C
They won't get to sleep earlier than three
                      Dm        C   A#
They'll be thinking 'bout how they can be
                  F             Am
Better than they are, taking it too far
            Dm         C       A#
Trying to change the things I love the
       F      C
most about them
                 Dm       C       A#
And I don't think I could ever stand
             F      Am
to see that happen, oh

I was too young when I picked out their names
Then wrote them at the top of every page
'Cause I didn't know I would grow up to hate
The way that I look and my size and my shape
I wish I could make sure that they never see
Themselves in the same way that I see me

Chorus

I'll keep the book in a safe place
'Cause I'm not quite ready to throw it away

Chorus
