"I Taught Myself How To Grow Old"
Ryan Adams
From Easy Tiger

Capo 3rd fret


Intros/ Breaks: C G Em C

Verse 1:

C G
Poor little rose, beaten by the rain
Em C
In the wind, in the gale, thunder and the hail
C G
Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane
Em
Without the numbness or the pain, so intense to feel
D
Especially now it added up through the years


Chorus 1:

C G D C
And I, I taught myself how to grow
G D C
Without any love, and there was poison in the rain
G D
I taught myself how to grow
Am
Now, I'm crooked on the outside
C
And the inside's broke


Verse 2:

C G
Most of the time, I got nothing to say
Em C
When I do, it's nothing, and nobody's there to listen anyway
C G
I know I'm probably better off this way
Em
I just listen to the voices on the TV 'til I'm tired
D
And my eyes grow heavy, and I fade away


Chorus 2:

C G D C
'Cause I, I taught myself how to grow
G D C
Without any love, and there was poison in the rain
G D
I taught myself how to grow
Am C
'Til I was crooked on the outside
G D C
I taught myself how to grow
G D C
Without any love, and there was poison in the rain
G D
I taught myself how to grow
Am
'Til I was crooked on the outside, inside's caved
C
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
Am C
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
D C
I taught myself how to grow old
