Chords

[Intro/ Breaks] C G Em C [Verse 1]
C                                     G
Poor little rose, beaten by the rain

       Em                                      C
In the wind, in the gale, thunder and the hail

C                                       G
Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane

            Em                                            
Without the numbness or the pain, so intense to feel

D
Especially now it added up through the years
[Chorus 1]
    C           G             D     C
And I, I taught myself how to grow

            G                   D             C    
Without any love, and there was poison in the rain

         G            D
I taught myself how to grow

         Am
Now, I'm crooked on the outside

        C
And the inside's broke
[Verse 2]
C                                       G
Most of the time, I got nothing to say

       Em                                                    C
When I do, it's nothing, and nobody's there to listen anyway

C                                        G
I know I'm probably better off this way

       Em                
I just listen to the voices on the TV 'til I'm tired

       D
And my eyes grow heavy, and I fade away
[Chorus 2]
       C           G             D     C
'Cause I, I taught myself how to grow

            G                   D             C
Without any love, and there was poison in the rain

         G             D
I taught myself how to grow

           Am                      C
'Til I was crooked on the outside

         G             D     C
I taught myself how to grow

            G                   D             C
Without any love, and there was poison in the rain

         G             D
I taught myself how to grow

           Am
'Til I was crooked on the outside, inside's caved

C
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved

Am                                      C
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved

         D                  C
I taught myself how to grow old
