Ryan Adams
From Easy Tiger
Key: A#/ Gm
Capo 1st fret
Intros/ Breaks: D A F#m D
Verse 1:
D A
Poor little rose, beaten by the rain
F#m D
In the wind, in the gale, thunder and the hail
D A
Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane
F#m
Without the numbness or the pain, so intense to feel
E
Especially now it added up through the years
Chorus 1:
D A E D
And I, I taught myself how to grow
A E D
Without any love, and there was poison in the rain
A E
I taught myself how to grow
Bm
Now, I'm crooked on the outside
D
And the inside's broke
Verse 2:
D A
Most of the time, I got nothing to say
F#m D
When I do, it's nothing, and nobody's there to listen anyway
D A
I know I'm probably better off this way
F#m
I just listen to the voices on the TV 'til I'm tired
E
And my eyes grow heavy, and I fade away
Chorus 2:
D A E D
'Cause I, I taught myself how to grow
A E D
Without any love, and there was poison in the rain
A E
I taught myself how to grow
Bm D
'Til I was crooked on the outside
A E D
I taught myself how to grow
A E D
Without any love, and there was poison in the rain
A E
I taught myself how to grow
Bm
'Til I was crooked on the outside, inside's caved
D
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
Bm D
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
E D
I taught myself how to grow old
