intro:
Bsus (Bass plays octaves)

B5                    E5
7 AM, the usual morning lineup
B5                                               E5
Start on the chores and sweep 'til the floor's all clean
C5                                       G5
Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up
       B5  B5  G#m13        F#m11  B5
Sweep again, and by then it's like 7:15


            E5      A5
And so I'll read a book
        F#5     E5
Or maybe two or three
           C#5    F#5             A5     E5
I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery
            C#5     F#5
I'll play guitar and knit
             A5 G#m13 C#5
And cook and basically
            F#m11        B5  E5             (intro): B5
Just wonder when will my life begin?


B5                                        E5
Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking
B5                             E5
Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess
C5                               G5
Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making
          B5    B5  G#m13         F#m11
Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb
      B5
Sew a dress!


         E5          A5
And I'll reread the books
          F#5     E5
If I have time to spare
               C#5       F#5
I'll paint the walls some more
                 A5        E5
I'm sure there's room somewhere
              C#5      F#5
And then I'll brush and brush
              A5    G#m13  C#5
and brush and brush my hair
             F#5             A5  G#m13  C5
Stuck in the same place I've always been


              F#5           G#m13
And I'll keep wanderin' and wanderin'
    A5             G#m13  C#5
And wanderin' and wonderin'
F#5          B5 E5
When will my life begin?


E5            A5
And tomorrow night
E5            A5
Lights will appear
E5              A5     E5             A5  B5
Just like they do on my birthday each year
C#5       F#m11
What is it like
B5                 E5
Out there where they glow?
A5            G#m13
Now that I'm older
       A5
Mother might just
       B5
Let me go...
