Well aren't we all grown up
A F#m E
We were only children, but who knew it then?
D A D A
Lovers before we knew anything more
F#m E D A
For each lesson in tenderness, learned on the floor
E D A E
There was one about twisting my words, to console you
C#m D F#m
One about hiding the black and blue
D A E D
And one about leaving the back door open
A F#m E A
For the endlessly running away that I do
A E
The rain took me by surprise
A F#m E
Though I'd heard a wild storm was coming that night
D A D A
I've learned to ignore these predictions alright
F#m E D A
Well partly it's stubbornness, some of it's spite
E D A E
But mostly it's twisting my words to console you
C#m D F#m
Mostly it's hiding the black and blue
D A E D
And always it's leaving the back door open
A F#m E A
For the endlessly running away that I do
A E
Now you think you're here to stay, it's like that joke
A F#m E
How can you miss me if you won't go away
D A D A
Well darling I might still surprise you one day
F#m E D A
For each sincere good morning I've managed to say
E D A E
There's been one about twisting my words to console you
C#m D F#m
One about hiding the black and blue
D A E D
And one about leaving the back door open
A F#m E A
For the endlessly running away that I do
From you
A F#m E A
For the endlessly running away that I do
