Intro: [B] [E] [B] [E] [B] [E]
[B]Seven AM, the usual morning [E]lineup
[B]Start on the chores
and sweep 'til the floor's all [E]clean
[C]Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and [G]shine up
Sweep [B]again, and by [E]then it's like [F#7]seven [B]fifteen
And so I'll [E]read a [A]book
Or maybe [F#m]two or [E]three
I'll add a [C#m]few new [F#m]paintings to my [A] [E]gallery
I'll play [C#m]guitar and [F#m]knit
And cook and [A] [E] [C#m]basically
Just wonder [F#7]when will my [B]life [E]begin?
Interlude: [B] [E] [B] [E]
[B]Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and [E]baking
[B]Paper mache, a bit of ballet and [E]chess
[C]Pottery and ventriloquy, candle [G]making
Then I'll [B]stretch, maybe [E]sketch, take a [F#7]climb
Sew a [B]dress!
And I'll [E]re-read the [A]books
If I have [F#m]time to [E]spare
I'll paint the [C#m]walls some [F#m]more
I'm sure there's [A]room [E]somewhere
And then I'll [C#m]brush and [F#m]brush
And brush and [A]brush [E]my [C#m]hair
Stuck in the [F#m]same place I've [A] [E]always [C#m]been
And I'll keep [F#m]wanderin' and [E]wanderin'
And [A]wanderin' and [E] [C#m]wonderin'
[F#m]When will my [B]life [E]begin?
Tomorrow [A]night
The [E]lights will [A]appear
[E]Just like they [A]do on my [E]birthday [A]each [B]year
[C#m]What is it [F#7]like
[B]Out there where they [E7]glow?
[A]Now that I'm [E]older
Mother [A]might just
Let me [B]go...
