Intro:
C  Am Dm F
C  Am Dm F
        
Verse 1:
   C       Am                 
Someday, I'm gonna live
         Dm                F                        
In your house up on the hill
                 C                      Am                            
And when your skinhead neighbor goes missing
             Dm              F                                
I'll plant a garden in the yard then
                           Am                        
They're gluin' roses on a flatbed
           Dm                  F                         
You should see it, I mean thousands
         C                    Am               
I grew up here 'til it all went up in flames
               Dm         F                           
Except the notches in the door frame

Chorus:
C                          F                                
I don't know when you got taller
          C                F                     
See our reflection in the water
         C              Am        
Off the bridge at the Huntington
              C            E    F                        
I hopped the fence when I was 17
        Dm         F        C                 
Then I knew what I wanted

C  Am Dm F
         
Verse 2:
           C                    Am                           
And when I grow up, I'm gonna look up
         Dm .               F                    
From my phone and see my life
                  Dm            Am           
And it's gonna be just like my recurring dream
               C             Am                       
I'm at the movies, I don't remember what I'm seeing
            Dm                F      
The screen turns into a tidal wave
            C                Am           
Then it's a dorm room like a hedge maze
              Dm                   C    
And when I find you, you touch my leg
           Am       Dm        F                   
And I insist, but I wake up before we do it
C  Am Dm F
        
Chorus:
         C                   F                              
I don't know how, but I'm taller
            C                F
It must be somethin' in the water
             C               Am      
Everything's growin' in our garden 
                    C               E   F  
You don't have to know that it's haunted

         
Verse 3:
          C                          F  
The doctor put her hands over my liver
                 C                  F          
She told me my resentment’s getting smaller
               C            Am    
No, I'm not afraid of hard work
          C           E    F
I get everything I want

       
Outro:
    C               F                     
I have everything I wanted
C  Am Dm F
C  Am Dm F
