  Well, I stood stonelike at midnight suspended in my masquerade

  C       Csus       C          C(2) C   Csus         C          C(2)  C

  

  And I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade

        Csus      C                C(2)      C       Csus       C             C(2)

  

  I was open to pain and crossed by the rain and I walked on a crooked crutch

  C     F       C       G           C              F           C

  

  I strolled all alone through a fallout zone and came out with my soul untouched

  C F             C              G       C             F        C  G    C

  

  I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said "Sit down" I stood up

  F G                                                   Am

  

  Ooh-ooh growin' up

  F   G7  F       C

  

  The flag of piracy flew from my mast my sails were set wing to wing 

  I had a jukebox graduate for first mate she couldn't sail but she sure could 

     sing

  I pushed B-52 and bombed `em with the blues with my gear set stubborn on 

     standing

  I broke all the rules strafed my old high school never once gave thought to 

     landing

  I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said`Come down'I threw up

  Ooh-ooh growin' up

  

  I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere and you know it's really hard 

     to hold your breath

  I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared I was the cosmic kid

  Well my feet they finally took root in the earth but I got me a nice little 

     place in the stars

  I swear I found the key to the universe in the engine of an old parked car

  I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they said`Sit down'I stood up

  Ooh-ooh growin' up

  Ooh-ooh growin' up

  F   G7  F       C      G   C    F   C   G
