When We Were Very Young Chords by Belle and Sebastian

[Verse]
 
Em
 I can see mountains
G
 I can see sky
            D
I sometimes wish that 

I was blind
             C
To all the futures that 

we left behind
Em
 I walk on shaky ground
G
 Nervous, I leave the house
       A
In the dark before the dawn
      C
A commuter with no place to run
 
[Chorus]
 
C                            
 I wish I could be content with 
   Em
the football scores
Am                             
 I wish I could be content with 
    D
the daily chores
        Dm                     G     E7
With my daily worship of the sublime
 
[Verse]
 
Em
 Last night, I was afraid
G
 My head was locked in pain
            D
I thought a person could go mad
           C
No one can help you when 

it gets this bad
Em
 But I thought about your way
G
 I had a picture of your face
      A
I was wishing you the best
            C
Sending you love with 

evеry tired breath
 
[Chorus]
 
C                              
 I wish I could be content with 
   Em
the football scores
Am                             
 I wish I could be content with 
    D
the daily chores 
        Dm                     G     E7
With my daily worship of the sublime

[Verse]
 
Em
 When we were very young
G
 We loved our selfish fun
   D
We cared what people thought
C
 About our selfish words
Em
 You could not tell us then
G
 How much we wouldn't care
              A
'Bout all the mindless trivia
              C
Now we've got kids and dystopia
 
[Chorus]
 
C                              
 I wish I could be content with 
   Em
the football scores
Am                             
 I wish I could be content with 
    D
the daily chores
        Dm                     G     E
With my daily worship of the sublime
C                             
 I wish I could walk away from 
    Em
my scars and sores
Am                               
 I wish I could walk away from the 
 D
'No one gets me'
        Dm
From my sense of envy
       G       E7
To the benign
 
[Outro]
 
C                             
 I wish I could be content with 
   Em
the football scores
Am                             
 I wish I could be content with 
    D
the daily chores
        Dm                     G     E7
With my daily worship of the sublime
C                              
 I wish I could be content with   
   Em
the football scores
Am                             
 I wish I could be content with 
    D
the daily chores
        Dm                     G     E
With my daily worship of the sublime
C                             
 I wish I could walk away from  
    Em
my scars and sores
