Standard (EADGBE)

Made a steeple with your fingers

Made a cradle with a piece of string

Made a snowman, made a treehouse

Made a game of everything

 But when you, when you grew up

 You grew up and forgot what's real

 What's precious, not precocious

 How being in love with life feels

 If I so little deserve you,

 Then why have you stayed for so long?

 If I so little deserve you,

 Then why have you not gone?

Made the girls swoon without thinking

Made this girl begin to wonder why

Made me flowers from crepe paper

I was charmed there for a while

 But when you, when you grew up

 You grew up and forgot what's true

 What's nice, not nauseating

 How you once felt how I feel for you

 If I so little deserve you,

 Then why have you stayed for so long?

 If I so little deserve you,

 Then why have you not gone?

 Cos you may be grown up

 And you may be cool

 But I may be anything, anything but cruel

 So don't ever ask me

 Just what you should say

 Cos you could say anything, anything, anything

 If I so little deserve you,

 Then why have you stayed for so long?

 If I so little deserve you,

 Then why have you not gone?
