C       Am    F          G
Made a steeple with your fingers
C       Am     C     G
Made a cradle with a piece of string
C       Am    F         G
Made a snowman, made a treehouse
C      Am      C    G
Made a game of everything

    Dm                 Em
But when you, when you grew up
    Am
You grew up and forgot what's real
       Dm               Em
What's precious, not precocious
    Am Dm    F              G
How being in love with life feels

   C G C             F         Am
If I     so little deserve you,
     C G Em                       F
Then why   have you stayed for so long?
   C G C             F         Am
If I     so little deserve you,
     Dm       F       C
Then why have you not gone?

C        Am         F        G 
Made the girls swoon without thinking
C         Am     C      G
Made this girl begin to wonder why
C         Am   F           G
Made me flowers from crepe paper
C     Am            C     G
I was charmed there for a while

    Dm                 Em
But when you, when you grew up
    Am
You grew up and forgot what's true
       Dm             Em
What's nice, not nauseating
    Am       Dm       F          G
How you once felt how I feel for you

   C G C             F         Am
If I     so little deserve you,
     C G Em                       F
Then why   have you stayed for so long?
   C G C             F         Am
If I     so little deserve you,
     Dm       F       C
Then why have you not gone?

    F            Em
Cos you may be grown up
    Dm          C
And you may be cool
    Em       Dm        F            C
But I may be anything, anything but cruel
   F          Em
So don't ever ask me
     Dm              C
Just what you should say
    Em            Dm        F         G
Cos you could say anything, anything, anything

   C G C             F         Am
If I     so little deserve you,
     C G Em                       F
Then why   have you stayed for so long?
   C G C             F         Am
If I     so little deserve you,
     Dm       F       C
Then why have you not gone?
