[Verse 1]
C
We could call it tragic
Em/B
And round up all reasons
Edim/B
To hold on to the sadness
F
And drink it ’til it makes us sick
C
Yeah, we could drag the past out
Em/B
Just to keep on grieving
Edim/B
Yeah, we could call it tragic
F
Or we could call it even

[Pre-Chorus]
C
I’m a problem solver
Em/B
‘Cause I always used to be a problem
Edim/B
Learned to get back up
F
When I felt like I had fallen too far

[Chorus]
C
Since I was a kid, I’ve been like this
Em/B
Learned to throw a punch, learned to take a hit
Edim/B F
And I’m still the way I was, I haven’t changed a bit
C
Since I was a kid, I’ve been like this
Em/B
Looking at the world, rose-colored glasses
Edim/B F
And I’m still the way I was, I haven’t changed a bit
C
Since I was a kid

[Verse 2]
C
We can call it tragic
Em/B
After everything we’ve been through
Edim/B
But I think we were healing
F
Even though we didn’t mean to
C
We don’t have to talk about it
Em/B
If you don’t want to
Edim/B
But I would never blame you
F
Yeah, I just wanna thank you

[Pre-Chorus]
C
I’m a problem solver
Em/B
‘Cause I always used to be a problem
Edim/B
Learned to get back up
F
When I felt like I had fallen too far

[Post-Chorus]
C Em/B
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah
Edim/B F
Ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah, ah-ah

[Outro]
C
We could call it tragic
Em/B
For a million different reasons
Edim/B
We could call it tragic
F
Or we could call it even

How to play Since I Was A Kid: key, chords and progression

Since I Was A Kid by Lennon Stella is written in F major (one flat: B♭) and moves through 4 chords: C, Em/B, Edim/B and F.

Listen for C – Em/B – Edim/B – F (V – vii – vii° – I in F major): the song comes back to it again and again. In solfa, that is soh – te – te – doh. Once these 4 changes are comfortable, most of the song is done.

Good to know: Edim/B and F are the tricky part on guitar (barre or movable shapes). Slow the change down until it is clean; on piano and ukulele they are simpler.
