INTRO: A E B E
A E B E
A E B E
Well I stood stone like at midnight
A E B E
Suspended in my masquerade
A E B E
I combed my hair till it was just right
A E B E
And commanded the night brigade
A E B E
I was open to pain and crossed by the rain
A E B E
And I walked on a crooked crutch
A E B E
I strolled all alone through a fallout zone
A D E A E
And came out with my soul untouched
A B
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd
A C#m
But when they said sit down I stood up
A B A E B E A E B E
Ooh-ooh growin' up
A E B E
The flag of piracy flew from my mast
A E B E
My sails were set wing to wing
A E B E
I had a jukebox graduate for a first mate
A E B E
She couldn't sail but she sure could sing
A E B E
I pushed a B-52 and bombed em with the blues
A E B E
With my gear set stubborn on standing
A E B E
I broke all the rules, strafed my old high school
A D E A E
Never once gave thought to landing
A B
I hid in the clouded warmth of the crowd
A C#m
But when they said come down I threw up
A B A E B E A E B E
Ooh-ooh growin' up
SOLO: A E B E A E B E
A E B E C#m A B
A E B E
A E B E
A E B E
I took month long vacations in the stratosphere
A E B E
You know it's really hard to hold your breath
A E B E
And I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared
A E B E
I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress
A E B E
Well my feet they finally took root in the earth
A E B E
And I got a nice little place in the stars
A E B E
And I swear I found the key to the universe
A D E A E
In the engine of an old parked car
A B
I hid in the mother breast of the crowd
A C#m
But when they said pull down I pulled up
A B C#m B
Ooh-ooh growin' up
A B A E B E
Ooh-ooh growin' up
