D
[Verse 1]
D Bm
The little girl she comes running home from school
Em7
She's lost her first public fight
A
She's so upset as she wipes away her tears
D
She can't concentrate on her homework that night
Bm
And finally when she gets her homework right
Em7
Her daddy knows that somethings wrong
A D
But decides to leave the questions untill later on
Bm
And later on at the little girls request
Em7
That she go to bed early to rest
A D
Like a weeping willow into her sleeping pillow she cries
[Chorus]
Bm Em7
The little girl is growing up while her whole world it is falling down
A D
I wish this hurting it could stop, but she's only learning, learning
[Verse 2]
Bm
Her daddy gets up late for work
Em7
He's got a cigerette hanging from the corner of his mouth
A
He's late, he's missed that train again
D Bm
Oh, total shock, and finally when he gets to work
Em7
All his fears delivered with one blow
A D
The boss says, with a smile, I'm sorry but you'll have to go
[Chorus]
Bm Em7
The little girl is growing up while her whole world it is falling down
A D
I wish this hurting it could stop, but she's only learning, learning
[Chorus]
Bm Em7
The little girl is growing up while her whole world it is falling down
A D
I wish this hurting it could stop, but she's only learning, learning
[Instrumental]
D Bm Em7 A x3
[Verse 3]
D Bm
The little girl, she makes it to school
Em7 A
She meets up with a friend, they both pretend
D
They want to be the teachers pet again
Bm
And finally when she makes it home
Em7
She doesn't know what is wrong or right
A D
Should she tell her mamma, or should she keep quiet
[Chorus]
Bm Em7
The little girl is growing up while her whole world it is falling down
A D
I wish this hurting it could stop, but she's only learning, learning
[Chorus]
Bm Em7
The little girl is growing up while her whole world it is falling down
A D
I wish this hurting it could stop, but she's only learning, learning
[Chorus]
Bm Em7
The little girl is growing up while her whole world it is falling down
A D
I wish this hurting it could stop, but she's only learning, learning
[Outro]
D
She's learning, learning. She's learning, learning
D
She's learning, learning. She's learning, learning
D
Growning up. Growing up. Growning up...
