I Was a Kid - Damon Price

[Intro]:
Dm | F  | C | Dm

[Verse]:
                       Dm
I was a kid, I didn`t know
                  F
What was normal inside that home
         C
I stayed quiet, I stayed low
          Dm
I learned early on my own
                      Dm
I learned how to stay small
                     F
How to freeze when I heard the walls
       C
How to never ask at all
       Dm
How to disappear down the hall

[Chorus]:
            Dm        F
I was a kid,I needed someone
            C          Dm
I was a kid,nobody come
             Dm                     F
I didn`t get stayed, I didn`t get told
              C                      Dm   Dm
I didn`t get comfort, I learned control

[Verse]:
         Dm
I don`t rest I stay alert
            F
Peace feels fake like it could hurt
      C
Every room I count the doors
      Gm
Every calm feels like before

[Verse]:
                Dm
When someone`s close I pull away
          F
I don`t believe the words they say
              C
I learned the hard the way what to hold
               Gm
You donft feel warm when you grow cold

[Chorus]:
             Dm            F
I was a kid, I didn`t need much
             C               Dm
I was a kid, I just needed one
             Dm                  F
I didn`t get saved, I didn`t get told
             C                      Dm
I didn`t get comfort, I learned control

[Instrumental]:
Dm | F | C | Dm
Dm | F | C | Dm

[Outro]:
        Dm           F            C     Dm
I was a kid, nobody come, nobody come
