Way back when, I was all aggrieved,

I fell down and skimmed my knees

Dm 
It didn't matter much to me

I just turned seventeen,
when it all went wrong
Dm

So I sang a different song,
C 
Am 
in a strange and awkward key
Dm

Doremi, I cut myself some slack,
I headed way down south
Dm

I know my heart was in my mouth I
Am 
knew the things that turned out fine

Just sparking time I wasn't concerned

with the weight of the world and his wife

Am 
Dm 
G 
C 
And how the years have
Em 
flown and I'm fully grown
D 
Dm 
F 
With a small child of my own,
C 
Am 
C 
Dm 
who fell down and skinned his knee
C 'est la vie, he said
C 
G 
Am 
It doesn't matter if I win or lose,
Dm 
G 
long as I am free to choose
For the rest of my life

It doesn't matter if I win or lose,
