Capo 3rd fret

Standard (EADGBE)

Intros/ Breaks:

Verse 1

Poor little rose, beaten by the rain

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

Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane

Without the numbness or the pain, so intense to feel

Especially now it added up through the years

Chorus 1

And I, I taught myself how to grow

Without any love, and there was poison in the rain

I taught myself how to grow

Now, I'm crooked on the outside

And the inside's broke

Verse 2

Most of the time, I got nothing to say

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

I know I'm probably better off this way

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

And my eyes grow heavy, and I fade away

Chorus 2

'Cause I, I taught myself how to grow

Without any love, and there was poison in the rain

I taught myself how to grow

'Til I was crooked on the outside

I taught myself how to grow

Without any love, and there was poison in the rain

I taught myself how to grow

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

Crooked on the outside, inside's caved

Crooked on the outside, inside's caved

I taught myself how to grow old
