Intro
A F#m (x2)
Verse 1
[A] Your hair hangs in [F#m]golden steps
You're [A]a bonafide in [F#m]every respect
You [A]are walking through streets that [F#m]mean nothing to you
[A] You believe you're above it, and [F#m]I don't really blame you
Chorus
[A] Maybe that's why you [F#m]speak like a child;
[A] The things you're saying like, [F#m]"I'm so free and so wild"
[Bm7] And I believe it when you [F#m7]look in my eyes;
[Bm7] You offer me a life that [F#m7]never lies
Least [F]only the kind to [E]make me smile
(D) (C#m)(Bm)
Verse 2
[A] Your clothes are clean, and your[F#m] mind is productive
[A] It shops in stores where [F#m]only the best buy
[A] You're cool and hard, and if I [F#m]sound like a lecher
[A] It's probably true, but at [F#m]least there's no lecture
Chorus
[A] I really like it when you [F#m]speak like a child
[A] The crazy sayings like, [F#m]"I'm so free and so wild"
[Bm7] You have to make a bargain [F#m7]with me now
[Bm7] A promise that you won't [F#m7]change somehow
No [F]way, no how[E]
Bridge
[Dmaj7]Spent all day [C#m7]thinking about you
[Dmaj7]Spent all night [C#m7]coming to terms with it
[Dmaj7]Time and [C#aug]conditions are built to tame
[F#m]Nothing lasts with age, so [F]people say
E (D) (C#m)(Bm) A
But I will always try to feel the same

Chorus
I really like it when you [F#m]speak like a child
[A] I really like it when you [F#m]speak like a child
[A] The way you hate the homely [F#m]rank and the file
[A] The way you're so proud to be [F#m]oh, so free and so wild
[A] I really like it when you [F#m]speak like a child
[A] I really like it when you [F#m]speak like a child
