[Verse 2] He came down from his retreat She saw him later on the street He said "You are the only one to recognize that I'm the son" [Pre-Chorus 2] So she bent down and kissed his feet And then that night, between the sheets she told him [Chorus] You can't live your life in the baby seat You've got to stand on your own Don't admit defeat

Then she turned and said to me

A2              Em
"If we make it back

Bm    A        G        A
I'll renounce Jack Kerouac

    Bm      A     G      A
And all of that romantic crap

    Bm      A      G          A      A2
Like I'm an artist don't look back"

[Verse 3] Now we're living somewhere else We keep opinions to ourselves But still we seek a sneaky peek at heaven When the working week defeats us [Pre-Chorus 3] If you think growing up is tough Then you've just not grown enough, baby [Chorus] (x2) You can't live your life in the baby seat You've got to stand on your own Don't admit defeat You can't live your life in the baby seat Aaahhhhhhh, aaahhhhhhh You can't live your life in the baby seat Aaahhhhhhh, aaahhhhhhh [Coda] G/D, D(2) [End on D(2)]
