Grown Up - From Hotcakes - 1974
D7 Gm F
I stood in the doorway in my white nightgown
Gm
Red roses on linen
F
I stood three feet from the ground
Ebmaj7 A7
The grownups laughed inside
D Dm
Used words I didn't know
Gm7 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
Ebmaj7 A7 D Dm
And no longer be afraid of the darkness or the bears
Gm7 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
Am7 D
Call me a grownup
Gm
Last night at a friend's house
F
A little girl was there
Gm F
She stood in the doorway playing with her hair
Ebmaj7 A7 D Dm
She looked up at me as if I could do no wrong
Gm7 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
Ebmaj7 A7
But the child's imagination
D Dm
Carried me along
Gm7 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
Am7 D A D7 Gm
Call me a grownup
