      G          Bm   C   D       G
   I Guess growing isn't hard to do
 Bm             C          D
   Just stand against the wall
 G         F          C
   Once I was just two feet high
      Am      F        D
   Today I'm six feet tall
	 G      Bm  C  D      G
   But knowing who to listen to
 Bm             C      D
   Is something else again
 G              F       C
   Words just whistle 'round my head
	 Am    F        D
   Like seasons in the wind

   G               F              C     Dsus4 D
   All across the water the clouds are sail---ing
     G                F         CaddD   D
   They won't let me look at the sky
   G              F             C          D
   All I want to do is try and find myself
    G               D           Csus4  C  G
   Come and let me look in your eyes.

       G         Bm   C  D      G
   In searching for the way to go
 Bm              C        D
   I've followed all the rules
 G               F           C
   The way they say to choose between
	Am      F        D
   The wise men and the fools
      G      Bm  C  D          G
   I listen to the words they say
 Bm            C       D
   I read what I should read
  G         F       C   
   I do whatever's right to do
	   Am     F         D
   Try to be what I should be

    G             F                C     Dsus4  D
   Someone let me in I think the sky is fall----ing
    G                 F          CaddD   D
   Seems I've gotten lost on my way
   G              F             C           D
   All I want to do is try and find myself
    G               D           C
   Come and let me look in your eyes
    G               D           Csus4  C
   Come and let me look in your eyes

Ad lib:  G  Bm  C  D  Bm  C  D  G  F  C  Am  F  D

	G     Bm C   D
   But wisdom is-n't underground
 Bm          C        D
   Nor on a mountain side
	 G      F     C
   And where am I to take myself
	    Am       F      Dsus4
   There's no place here to hide
		     D
   Where can I hide

   G              F              C       Dsus4 D
   All across the universe the stars are fa---ding
    G                  F          CaddD  D
   Seems we've gotten lost on our way
   G              F             C             D
   All I want to do is try and find myself
    G               D           C
   Come and let me look in your eyes
    G               D           C
   Come and let me look in your eyes
    G               D           Csus4  C  G  D7sus4  G
   Come and let me look in your eyes.
