Grownup chords by Carly Simon

Chords with lyrics

FF
I stood in the doorway in my white nightgown
G minorGm
Red roses on linen
FF
I stood three feet from the ground
   A7A7
The grownups laughed inside
    DmDm
Used words I didn't know
   A7A7
But still I enjoyed the show

G minorGm
They looked so lovely
FF
They looked so self-assured
  G minorGm
And I just like them
        FF
Would know it all when I matured
    DmDm
And no longer be afraid of the darkness or the bears
     A7A7
Or the cracks in the ceiling upstairs

      G minorGm
Well, I've just gotten older
A minorAm
I've just gotten taller
     A7A7
And the little ones
      D MajorD
Call me a grownup

G minorGm
Last night at a friend's house
  FF
A augmentedA little girl was there
   FF
She stood in the doorway playing with her hair
DmDm
She looked up at me as if I could do no wrong
    A7A7
As I stood to sing my song
G minorGm
I sang it with a shiver
    FF
In my throat and in my knees
G minorGm
Feeling just as small
    FF
As a thistle in a breeze
     A7A7
But the child's imagination
DmDm
Carried me along
   A7A7
And saw me through my song

      G minorGm
See, I've just gotten older
A minorAm
I've just gotten taller
     A7A7
And the little ones
      G minorGm
