You would think that I could find a simple song, a photograph of mine
 A                           Am             F#m                           G#m 
To show this public eye, what I have to offer
 C#m                                   F#m                           B                             G#m 
I may not have a PHD, or speak in eloquent philosophy!
 A                             Am               G#m                         F#m 
I'm nothing more than simply me you see!
 A                     Am                   E   G#m  F#m 
What I am trying to say
         C#m                         G#m                 A     Am 
I'm just a babe in so many ways!
                         E 
I'm still growing, still stretchin'
                 A                           Am 
Still breaking in these new shoes
       E                                                                       A         Am 
Looking for a way to make a mark of my own
                         E 
I'm just a spring chick, wet behind the ears
                 A                             Am 
It's a part of life so there's no need to fear

(As the wisest of men), oh perhaps some day
 F#m                   G#m 
But for now I'm grateful
               C#m                               F#m                                         B                                         G#m 
to be a part of the family tree, while The Man upstairs does His work on me
 Am                                                           G#m             F#m 
It's a job that may take eternity to complete
 Am                                                   E   G#m  F#m 
Just when I've learned all I can,
       C#m                                       G#m                     A       Am 
those growing pains up and kick on in again!
Chorus
     B                           Bm                                       F#m               C#m 
Time after time, one more time and again, will it ever end?
                       F#m                       B                                   A 
It's the lessons in our lives that make us wise
 A                       Am                 E                           G#m  F#m 
But young or old I am told it's the same   Oh,
               C#m                               G#m                             A                               Am

             A                           Am 
I'm just a babe in so many ways!
       E                                     G#m 
I'm still growing, still stretchin'
                 A                           Am 
Still breaking in these new shoes
