From Easy Tiger Intros/ Breaks: F C Dm F Verse 1:
F                                     C
Poor little rose, beaten by the rain

       Dm                                      F
In the wind, in the gale, thunder and the hail

F                                       C
Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane

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

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

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

         C            G
I taught myself how to grow

         Dm
Now, I'm crooked on the outside

        F
And the inside's broke
Verse 2:
F                                       C
Most of the time, I got nothing to say

       Dm                                                    F
When I do, it's nothing, and nobody's there to listen anyway

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

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

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

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

         C             G
I taught myself how to grow

           Dm                      F
'Til I was crooked on the outside

         C             G     F
I taught myself how to grow

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

         C             G
I taught myself how to grow

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

F
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved

Dm                                      F
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved

         G                  F
I taught myself how to grow old
