Repeat Riff 1
I stood stone-like at midnight suspended in my masquerade
I combed my hair till it was just right and commanded the night brigade
I was [F]open to p[C]ain and cr[G]ossed by t[C]he rain and I w[F]alked on a cr[C]ooked cru[G]tch[C]
I str[F]olled all a[C]lone through a fa[G]llout zo[C]ne and came o[F]ut with m[C]y so[G]ul unto[C]uched[F] [C]
[F]I hi[G]d in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they s[F]aid "sit down" I stood [Am]up
F G7 Riff 1 (or play 2x | F C | G C |)
Ooh-ooh growin' up
Repeat Riff 1
The flag of piracy flew from my mast, my sails were set wing to wing
( Tab from: http://www.guitartabs.cc/tabs/b/bruce_springsteen/growin_up_tab.html )
I had a jukebox graduate for first mate, she couldn't sail but she sure could sing,
I [F]pushed B-5[C]2 and [G]bombed `em with the [C]blues with my [F]gear set [C]stubborn on [G]standing[C]
I [F]broke all the [C]rules, strafed my [G]old high [C]school, never [F]once [C]gave [G]thought to [C]landing[F] [C]
I [G]hid in the clouded wrath of the crowd but when they s[F]aid "Come down" I threw [Am]up
F G7 Riff 1 (or play 2x | F C | G C |)
Ooh-ooh growin' up

Repeat Riff 1
I took month-long vacations in the stratosphere and you know it's really hard to hold your breath.
I swear I lost everything I ever loved or feared, I was the cosmic kid in full costume dress
Well my [F]feet they [C]finally took [G]root in the [C]earth but I got [F]me a nice little [C]place in the s[G]tars[C]
And I [F]swear I found the [C]key to the u[G]nive[C]rse in the [F]engine of an [C]old [G]parked [C]car[F] [C]
I [G]hid in the mother breast of the crowd but when they [F]said "Pull down" I pulled [Am]up
[F]Ooh-o[G7]oh gro[F]win' u[C]p[G] [C]
F G7 F C | G C | F C G | G
Ooh-ooh growin' up
[C] [F] [G] [G7] [Am]
