Grownup Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][D][Am][D][Am][D][G][C]

[Verse 1]
[Fm]I stood in the
doorway [Eb]in my white nightgown
Red [Fm]roses on cotton,
I stood [Eb]three feet from the ground
[Db]the grownups in[G]side used
[C]words I didn't [Cm]know
[Fm]But still I enjoyed [G]the show
[Gsus4][G][Fm]

[Verse 2]
They looked so lovely,
they [Eb]looked so self-assured
And And [Fm]I just like them would
know it [Eb]all when I matured
And [Db]I wouldn't be [G]afraid of
[C]the darkness or the [Cm]bears
Or the [Fm]cracks in the ceiling up
stairs
[G][Gsus4]

[Verse 3]
[G]
Now I've [Fm]just gotten older,
I've [Gm]just gotten taller
And the [G]little ones, they [Gm]call me a [C]grownup
[Gm][C]

[Interlude 1]
[Gm][C][F][Am][D][Am][D][Am][D][G][C]

[Verse 4]
[Fm]Lat night at a friend's house
a [Eb]little girl was there
[Fm]She stood in the doorway
[Eb]playing with her hair
She [Db]looked up to [G]me as if
[C]I could do no w[Cm]rong
As I got up [Fm]to sing my s[G]ong

[Verse 5]
[G]I s[Fm]ang it with a shiver in my
[Eb]throat and in my knees
[Fm]Feeling just as small as a
[Eb]thistle in a breeze
But the [Db]child's ima[G]gination
[C]carried me [Cm]along
And [Fm]saw me through my [G]song

[Verse 6]
[G]Now I've [Fm]just gotten older,
I've [Gm]just gotten taller
[G]And the little ones cal[Gm]l me a gro[C]wnup

[Outro 1]
[Gm][C][F][Am][D][Am][D][Am][D][G][C][Fm]
