Standard (EADGBE)

Made a steeple with your fingers

Made a cradle with a piece of string

Made a snowman, made a treehouse

Made a game of everything

But when you, when you grew up

You grew up and forgot what's real

What's precious, not precocious

How being in love with life feels

If I so little deserve you,

Then why have you stayed for so long?

If I so little deserve you,

Then why have you not gone?

Made the girls swoon without thinking

Made this girl begin to wonder why

Made me flowers from crepe paper

I was charmed there for a while

But when you, when you grew up

You grew up and forgot what's true

What's nice, not nauseating

How you once felt how I feel for you

If I so little deserve you,

Then why have you stayed for so long?

If I so little deserve you,

Then why have you not gone?

Cos you may be grown up

And you may be cool

But I may be anything, anything but cruel

So don't ever ask me

Just what you should say

Cos you could say anything, anything, anything

If I so little deserve you,

Then why have you stayed for so long?

If I so little deserve you,

Then why have you not gone?
