Dmaj7         D6             Dmaj7  D6 
Silly  Billy, giggling under cotton, 
  Dmaj7      D6             Dmaj7  D6 
A very goofy ghost for Halloween, 
Dmaj7         D6                Dmaj7  D6 
In the living room, my mothers talking, 
  Dmaj7          D6         Dmaj7  D6 
I like to listen as I fall asleep, 
    Dmaj7 D6           Em7 
The last  thing that I hear, 
   Dmaj7        D6                Dmaj7  D6 
An orange in my sock on Christmas morning, 
Dmaj7        D6                  Dmaj7  D6 
I made it to midnight New Year's Eve, 
Dmaj7          D6               Dmaj7  D6 
I've got a new sister but she's boring, 
Dmaj7        D6              Dmaj7  D6 
All she ever does is cry and sleep, 
                   Em6   Em 
But they keep her around. 


 
        Dmaj7 D6   Dmaj7  D6 
And the small things . . ., 
        Dmaj7 D6   Dmaj7  D6 
Are the big   things . . ., 
        Dmaj7 D6   Dmaj7  D6 
And the big   things . . ., 
    Em7 
Get small, 
Dmaj7 D6   Dmaj7  D6 
I     miss . . ., 
        Em7   Em7 
Being a child . . ., 
        G 
Running wild . . .,

Cannonball . . .! 



Dmaj7        D6          Dmaj7  D6 
Everyone's invited to my party, 
      Dmaj7        D6                 Dmaj7  D6 
We're going to the Chuck-E-Cheese downtown, 
Dmaj7           D6           Dmaj7  D6 
I can't wait to say hello to Lottie, 
  Dmaj7          D6              Dmaj7  D6 
I feel a certain way when she's around, 
  D6               Em7 
I wonder what that is, 
     Dmaj7        D6             Dmaj7  D6 
And Jamie's going to a different school now, 
  Dmaj7                 D6        Dmaj7  D6 
I thought that w would never be apart, 
Dmaj7         D6           Dmaj7  D6 
Why does everybody have to leave me? 
     Dmaj7           D6             Dmaj7  D6 
I'll never heal this hole inside my heart, 
                   Em6   Em 
I'll build a little shrine.

G 
Spinning circles, 
               Dmaj7   D6   Dmaj7  D6 
I'm Harry, I'm Frodo, I'm Sam, 
      Gadd9 
I'm a real good singer, 
               Dmaj7   D6   Dmaj7  D6 
I know exactly who  I  am, 
            Em7 
I'm here to learn in class, 
          G 
While I'm stuck in school, 
     Gadd9 
Then lie in the grass, 
    Gadd#11        Gadd#11 
And jump in the pool. 



    Dmaj7         D6          Dmaj7  D6 
And sometimes I imagine being older, 
Dmaj7          D6         Dmaj7  D6 
Being married, being in a play, 
    Dmaj7    D6              Dmaj7  D6 
But mostly I draw 'S's on my folder, 
Dmaj7         D6         Dmaj7  D6 
Mostly I just focus on today. 
       D6          Em7 
Do you wanna be my friend? 
                    Em 
(Do you wanna be my friend?) 
                     D/F# Gadd#11 
On these days that never  end? 
 Gadd#11 
(Yeah!).
