[Verse 1]
C          F                            Am       G
I dried my eyes, now I'll crust them with sleep
        C     Dm Em  C
I'll crust them over
C              F
She begged me, "Don't hate me"
                 Am  G  C
She spun me a story
 
C
Where winning looks like losing
      F
And I'm winning every time
         Am      G         C           C      F
So thread spools, sweetie, get ready
Am       G       C    Dm Em
Until my silk is sold
 
 
[Chorus]
          F  G  Am  C  B5  C
Growing up
          F  G  Am  C  B5  C
Growing up
          F  G  Am  C  B5  C
Growing up
          F  G  Am  C  B5  C B5
 
 
[Post-Chorus]
C    Em               F   Am G
Yeah! I'll find myself anew
C    Em               F   Am G
Yeah! I'll find myself anew
 
 
[Verse 2]
C                                      F
I've dried my eyes, now it's "Rushmore"
           Am         G            C
I'm deep with futures like Chicago
     C
No, Glenview never meant a thing to me
 F                            Am
She never meant a thing to me
                   G                      C
Except for putting idealists in a body bag
 
C
Forget it
 C G F            Am       G        C
I'll go out tonight and piss on her doorstep
C                          C G F            F G  Am
And listen to The Misfits "Where Eagles Dare"
       G        C
To swallow whole
 
 
[Chorus]
F  G  Am  C  B5  C
Up
F  G  Am  C  B5  C
Growing up
F  G  Am  C  B5  C
Growing up
F  G  Am  C  B5

C F   Am             G
