Bruce Springsteen - Growin' Up: chords

       Csus4        C       C9     C
Well I stood stone like at midnight
  Csus4          C     C9  C
Suspended in my masquerade
      Csus4      C                C9      C
And I combed my hair till it was just right
       Csus4       C       C9  C
And commanded the night brigade
      F        C         G             C
I was open to pain and crossed by the rain
       F            C       G   C
And I walked on a crooked crutch
      F          C              G       C
I strolled all alone through a fallout zone
          F        C  G    G C     F C
And came out with my soul untouched

Chorus:
F  G
I hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd
               F                    Am
But when they said sit down I stood up
F   G   Csus4   C C9 C Csus4 C C9 C
Ooh-ooh growin' up

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 them 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

Chorus:
I hid in the clouded warmth of the crowd
But when they said, "Come down," I threw up
Ooh, ooh, growin' up
Work it back now

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 in full costume dress
Well, my feet they finally took root in the earth
But I got me a nice little place in the stars
And I swear I found the key to the universe
In the engine of an old parked car

Chorus:
I hid in the mother breast of the crowd
But when they said, "Pull down," I pulled up
Ooh, ooh, growin' up
Ooh, ooh, growin' up
