We Grew up a Little Bit Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Em][D][Em]

[Verse 1]
We got married [Em]early
And [Am]just a little bit [C]late[Em]
Baby came too early
But some [Am]things just can't wait
[G]We were just beginning
But [Bm]it was very cl[D]ear
[C]We grew up a [D]little bit that [Em]year

[Verse 2]
[Em]
I caught on as a [G]meter [Em]man[Am]
You were caught at [Em]home
When I started night school
You [Am]ended up alone
But you [G]had another baby
While [Bm]I had my career
And [C]we grew [D]up a [Em]little bit
[G]We grew [Am]up a l[Bm]ittle bit
[C]We grew up a [D]little bit that [Em]year

[Verse 3]
[G]They put me in a office job
[Em]A young man on the move
[Bm]We bought a house in Shaker Heights
[G]You supervised the move
We [F]were cashing [Em]check[F]s,
[Em]you were [F]changing [Em]children
While I [D]played [Em]engineer[D][G]
And [C]we were growing [D]ever faster
[Em]Every year

[Verse 4]
[Em]I got bored of[Am] kilowatts
You were tired of kids
[Em]I started staying out at night
And [Am]soon that's what you did
At [G]parties we'd go separately
You'd [Bm]wiggle and I'd leer
And [C]we were grow[D]ing [Em]faster
We were [G]growing [Am]ever [Bm]faster
[C]We were growing [D]ever
[Em]faster every year

[Verse 5]
You [Em]learned to live in silence
[Am]I learned to live in lie[Em]s
And we both igored the empty
[D]spaces[Am]
Growing in [Em]our eyes
[G]Your breath became a
gin and [Bm]tonic
Mine became a beer
[Em]And [C]we grew up a l[D]ittle more last [Em]year

[Verse 6]
[G]Today at work they passed me by
[Em]And promoted John instead
[Bm]I came home to find you'd wrecked the car
[G]I guess I lost my head
Well, [F]I can't [Em]be l[F]ieve I[Em] hit [F]you[Em][F]
But [Em]the rage came on so strong
[G]Ah, [C]where [G]did [D]we [Am]go
[A]wro[Am]ng?[Em]

[Verse 7]
[Em]
As you sit there crying
[Am]I wonder who you are
The [Em]partner-stranger-friend
and and and foe
Who's [Am]come with me this far
We [G]stand here in the ashes
And [Bm]I guess it is quite clear
We [C]did not really [D]grow too much
Each [Em]year

[Interlude 1]
[Em][C][D][Em]

[Verse 8]
So [Em]you say we're going nowhere
Well I [Am]know that's where
we've [Em]been
Still I can't help wondering
Can [Am]we begin again?
I [G]feel so full of questions
[Bm]Curiosity and fear
But [C]could we [G]grow a [Em]little bit
[G]Could we [D]grow a [Bm]little bit
[C]Can we [G]grow [C]a l[D]ittle bit this year?[Em]
