I Taught Myself How To Grow Old

Intros/ Breaks: [C] [G] [Em] [C]

[C]Poor little rose, beaten by the rain  [G]
In the [Em]wind, in the gale, thunder and the hail [C]
[C]Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane  [G]
Without the [Em]numbness or the pain, so intense to feel
[D]Especially now it added up through the years

And [C]I, I taught [G]myself how to [D]grow  [C]
Without any [G]love, and there was [D]poison in the [C]rain
I taught [G]myself how to[D] grow
Now, I'm [Am]crooked on the outside
And the [C]inside's broke

[C]Most of the time, I got nothing to say  [G]
When I [Em]do, it's nothing, and nobody's there to listen anyway [C]
[C]I know I'm probably better off this way  [G]
I just [Em]listen to the voices on the TV 'til I'm tired
And my [D]eyes grow heavy, and I fade away

'Cause [C]I, I taught [G]myself how to [D]grow  [C]
Without any [G]love, and there was [D]poison in the [C]rain
I taught [G]myself how to [D]grow
'Til I was [Am]crooked on the outside  [C]
I taught [G]myself how to [D]grow  [C]
Without any [G]love, and there was [D]poison in the [C]rain
I taught [G]myself how to [D]grow
'Til I was [Am]crooked on the outside, inside's caved
[C]Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
[Am]Crooked on the outside, inside's caved  [C]
I taught [D]myself how to grow [C]old
