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
Ooh...Ooh 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
Ooh...Ooh 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
Ooh...Ooh growin' up 
F       G       Csus4   C       G       C
Ooh...Ooh growin' up
