Meet you by the a[C#]rt room door   [Ab]
In a circle on th[C#]e hallway floor[Ab]
Teacher held you [C#]back again     [Ab]
Drawing ogres in [C#]your textbook m[Ab]argin
[Eb]Keeping your eyes down and dodging [C#]oranges
On th[Bb]e bus trip home
Every day you're[Ab] battle-scarred
You'll grow up [F#]to be a bard
You'll grow up [C#]to be a bard [Abm]

[C#]  [Abm]

[C#]  [Abm]

Hurt yourself at s[C#]ports again [Abm]
You're not made fo[C#]r mud and wi[Abm]nd
Limping home throu[C#]gh quiet str[Abm]eets
Sprinkler spits a [C#]snare drum b[Abm]eat
[Eb]Kids down on the vacant block throw [C#]rocks at you
For talking[Bb] to yourself again
Days like this are [Ab]way too hard
You'll grow up [F#]to be a bard
You'll grow up [C#]to be a bard [Abm]

[B]You'll tell your own daughter[C#] stories
She'll get some dic[Bb]e of her own one day
They can tra[F#m]demark the name all t[C#]hey like
It's all ripped [Bb]off Tolkien anyway
'Cause drago[F#m]ns and dungeons go ba[C#]ck
They go back a l[Bb]ong, long way
And they won't g[Ab]o away
They won't go aw[F#]ay

Meet you by the ar[C#]t room door [Abm]
In a circle on the[C#] hallway flo[Abm]or
Made up a new map [C#]last night  [Abm]
It's got a dragon [C#]and a wizard[Abm] fight
[Eb]Once the ranger and the thief [C#]get here
We can loc[Bb]k the door
Shut the noise o[Ab]ut from the yard
Then we can let [F#]down our guard

You'll grow up t[C#]o be a bard

You'll grow up to...
You'll grow up t[C#]o be a bard
You'll grow up t[Abm]o...
