I thought gardens were amusement parks

Spider webs were works of art
    F                             C
And war was just another game we played

Time just sent me off to bed

Love was just a word we said
    F                                   C
I thought someone would always keep me safe
           G                           C
And that I might become an astronaut some day


[Chorus]:
F                   Am         G                   C
But growing up is falling down and landing safely on the ground
F                Am          C
Waking up in the dead of night
         G       F
Thinking "oh my God
           C    F G Am
Joni was right"

[Verse 2]:
C
Between the downfalls and the deepest fears

Lessons learned the hardest ways
   F                                  C
I hoped that there was something left to save

So I went back to try and find

The innocence I left behind
       G                  C
And realized my paradise was paved


[Chorus]:
F                  Am             G              C
But growing up is falling down and landing safely on the ground
F                Am          C
Waking up in the dead of night
          G         F
Thinking "oh my God
        C       F G Am
Joni was right"

[Bridge]:
    Am            G
The cost of being wild and free
    Am      G/B   C
The endless possibilities
    Am           G
The open road in front of me
     Am      G/B     C          F
It's harder than I thought it'd be


[Chorus]:
                    Am             G              C
But growing up is falling down and landing safely on the ground
F                Am          C
Waking up in the dead of night
         G       F
Thinking "oh my God
         C    F G Am
Joni was right"
