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 Gm Call me a grownup
