Grownup chords by Carly Simon

F
I stood in the doorway in my white nightgown
Gm
Red roses on linen
F
I stood three feet from the ground
     A7
The grownups laughed inside
       Dm
Used words I didn't know
     A7
But still I enjoyed the show

Gm
They looked so lovely
F
They looked so self-assured
   Gm
And I just like them
               F
Would know it all when I matured
        Dm
And no longer be afraid of the darkness or the bears
         A7
Or the cracks in the ceiling upstairs

            Gm
Well, I've just gotten older
Am
I've just gotten taller
          A7
And the little ones
           D
Call me a grownup

Gm
Last night at a friend's house
    F
A little girl was there
      F
She stood in the doorway playing with her hair
Dm
She looked up at me as if I could do no wrong
       A7
As I stood to sing my song
Gm
I sang it with a shiver
        F
In my throat and in my knees
Gm
Feeling just as small
        F
As a thistle in a breeze
         A7
But the child's imagination
Dm
Carried me along
     A7
And saw me through my song

           Gm
See, I've just gotten older
Am
I've just gotten taller
          A7
And the little ones
           Gm
