[Verse 1]
G C Well I Fstood stoneClike at midGnight C
SuspendedF in my Cmasquerade
G C And I combedF my hairC it was justG right C
And commanFded the Cnight brigade
G C I was Fopen to painC and crossedG by the Crain
And I Fwalked on a Ccrooked crutch
G C I strolledF all aloneC through a fallGout zone C
Came outF with Cmy Gsoul Cuntouched F C
[Chorus]
FI Ghid in the clouded wrath of the crowd
When they Fsaid, "Sit down," I stood up
Am FOoh, Gooh, Fgrowin' up C G C F C

G C The Fflag of piCracy flew Gfrom my mast C
My sailsF were set Cwing to wing
G C I had a Fjukebox Cgraduate forG first mate C
She couldn't Fsail but she Csure couldG sing C
I pushed FBfifty twoC and bombedG them with the Cblues
With my Fgear set Cstubborn on Gstanding C
I brokeF all the rules,C strafed my Gold high school C
Never Fonce Cgave Gthought Cto landing F C

I was the cosFmic kid in Cfull costumeG dress C
Well, my Ffeet they finalCly took root Gin the earth
CBut I got me a Fnice little placeC in the stars G C
And I swear FI found the keyC to the uGniverse C
In the enFgine Cof an oldG Cparked car F C

FI Ghid in the mother breast of the crowd
When they Fsaid, "Pull down," I pulled up
