Growing Up

D


[Verse 1]
D                         Bm
The little girl she comes running home from school
               Em7
She's lost her first public fight
      A
She's so upset as she wipes away her tears
          D
She can't concentrate on her homework that night
    Bm
And finally when she gets her homework right
    Em7
Her daddy knows that somethings wrong
      A                                   D
But decides to leave the questions untill later on
             Bm
And later on at the little girls request
               Em7
That she go to bed early to rest
A                                              D
Like a weeping willow into her sleeping pillow she cries


[Chorus]
                   Bm                                     Em7
The little girl is growing up while her whole world it is falling down
                    A                             D
I wish this hurting it could stop, but she's only learning, learning


[Verse 2]
    Bm
Her daddy gets up late for work
           Em7
He's got a cigerette hanging from the corner of his mouth
     A
He's late, he's missed that train again
    D                                Bm
Oh, total shock, and finally when he gets to work
              Em7
All his fears delivered with one blow
    A                                  D
The boss says, with a smile, I'm sorry but you'll have to go


[Chorus]

                   Bm                                     Em7
The little girl is growing up while her whole world it is falling down
                    A                             D
I wish this hurting it could stop, but she's only learning, learning


[Chorus]

                   Bm                                     Em7
The little girl is growing up while her whole world it is falling down
                    A                             D
I wish this hurting it could stop, but she's only learning, learning

[Verse 3]
D              Bm
The little girl, she makes it to school
    Em7                          A
She meets up with a friend, they both pretend
                    D
They want to be the teachers pet again
            Bm
And finally when she makes it home
Em7
   She doesn't know what is wrong or right
A                                        D
Should she tell her mamma, or should she keep quiet


[Chorus]

                   Bm                                     Em7
The little girl is growing up while her whole world it is falling down
                    A                             D
I wish this hurting it could stop, but she's only learning, learning


[Chorus]

                   Bm                                     Em7

                    A                             D
I wish this hurting it could stop, but she's only learning, learning

                    A                             D
I wish this hurting it could stop, but she's only learning, learning
