Em
[Verse 1]
Em Am We got married early, and just a little bit late Em Am The baby came too early, but some things just can't wait G Bm We were just beginning, but it was very clear C D Em We grew up a little bit that year
[Verse 2]
Em Am I caught on as a meter man, you were caught at home Em Am When I started night school, you ended up alone G Bm But you had another baby, while I had my career C Em G Bm And we grew up a little bit, we grew up a little bit C D Em We grew up a little bit that year
[Chorus 1]
G Em They put me in an office job, the young man on the move Bm G We bought a house in Shaker Heights, you supervised the move Fmaj7 Em We were cashin' checks, you were changin' children, while I played engineer C D Em And we were growin' ever faster every year
[Verse 3]
Em Am I got bored of kilowatts, you were tired of kids Em Am I started staying out at night and soon that's what you did G Bm At parties we'd go separately, you'd wiggle and I'd lear C Em G Bm And we were growin' faster, we were growin' ever faster C D Em We were growin' ever faster every year
[Verse 4]
Em Am You learned to live in silence, I learned to live in lies Em Am And we both ignored the empty spaces growin' in our eyes G Bm Your breath became a gin and tonic, mine became a beer C D Em And we grew up a little more last year
[Chorus 2]
G Em Today at work they passed me by and promoted John instead Bm G I came home to find you'd wrecked the car, I guess I lost my head Fmaj7 Em Well I can't believe I hit you, but the rage came on so strong C D Cmaj7 Aw, where did we go wrong?
[Verse 5]
Em Am As you sit there crying, I wonder who you are Em Am The partner, stranger, friend and foe who's come with me this far G Bm We stand here in the ashes, and I guess it is quite clear C D D/E D/F# D/G D/C D/D We did not really grow too much each year
[Verse 6]
Em Am So you say we're going no where, well I know that's where we've been Em Am Still I can't help wonderin' can we begin again? G Bm I feel so full of questions, curiosity, and fear C Em G Bm But could we grow a little bit, could we grow a little bit C D Em Can we grow a little bit this year?
