C
Every now and then
G Am
I think of you
C G
And where you might be now
C F G Am
My memories are just a version of the truth
C F G Am
I know you left in that northern breeze
[Verse 1]
G
When I grow up I wanna be
F
A picture of my mother holding onto me.
C G
When I show up I wanna see
F
That some things are worth waiting for
G C
I wanna be, be
[Bridge]
Dm Am G F
Where did you go? I cannot see
Am G
Through your castles in the sky
F Am G F
Where the tiger lilies are blowing free
Am G F
You might be waiting for me one more time
[Verse 2]
C G
When I grow up I wanna be
F
A picture of my mother holding onto me
C G
When I show up I wanna see
F
That some things are worth waiting for
G C
I wanna be, be
[Chorus]
Dm Am G C
Please won't you call me a rose?
Dm Am G
I could be so sweet
Dm Am G C
Please won't you bring me a rose?
Dm Am G
Don't have to be so mean
Dm Am G C
La de da ah da da da
Dm Am G
Ah La de da oh
Dm Am G C
La de da ah da da da
Dm Am G
Ah La de da oh
[Bridge]
C G
When I grow up I wanna be
F
A picture of my mother holding onto me
C G
When I show up I wanna see
F
That some things are worth waiting for
G C
I wanna be, be
