[Verse 1]~

Csus4 C G C Csus4 C G C

I stood stone-like at midnight,.. suspended in my masquerade



Csus4 C G C Csus4 C G C

I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade



F C G C F C G C

I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch



F C G C F C G C F C F

I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and come out with my soul untouched



G F Am

I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd,.. but when they said,.. "Sit down,.." I stood up



F G Csus4 C G C

OohOoh growin' up





[Verse 2]~

Csus4 C G C Csus4 C G C

The flag of piracy flew from my mast,.. my sails were set wing to wing



Csus4 C G C Csus4 C G C

I had a jukebox graduate for first mate,.. she couldn't sail but she sure could sing



F C G C F C G C

I pushed B-52 and bombed them with the blues with my gear set stubborn on standing



F C G C F C G C F C F

I broke all the rules,.. strafed my old high school,.. never once gave thought to landing



G F Am

I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd,.. but when they said,.. "Come down,.." I threw up



F G Csus4 C G C

OohOoh growin' up

[Verse 3]~

Csus4 C G C Csus4 C G C

I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere,.. and you know it's really hard to hold your breath



Csus4 C G C Csus4 C G C

I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared,.. I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress



F C G C F C G C

Well,.. my feet they finally took root in the earth,.. but I got me a nice little place in the stars



F C G C F C G C F C F

And I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car



G F Am

I hid in the mother breast of the crowd,.. but when they said,.. "Pull down,.." I pulled up



F G Csus4 C G C

OohOoh growin' up



F G Csus4 C G C

OohOoh growin' up
