A                           D 
Seven AM, the usual morning lineup 
A                                                  D 
Start on the chores and sweep 'til the floor's all clean 
Bb                                       F 
Polish and wax, do laundry, and mop and shine up 
       A            D              E7       A 
Sweep again, and by then it's like seven fifteen  
            D      G 
And so I'll read a book 
         Em     D 
Or maybe two or three 
           Bm      Em              G    D 
I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery 
          Bm         Em 
I'll play guitar and knit 
             G D   Bm 
And cook and basically 
            E7           A      D 
Just wonder when will my life begin?

A                                           D 
Then after lunch it's puzzles and darts and baking 
A                                D 
Paper mache, a bit of ballet and chess 
Bb                                F 
Pottery and ventriloquy, candle making 
          A              D              E7 
Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb 
      A 
Sew a dress!  
         D           G 
And I'll re-read the books 
          Em      D 
If I have time to spare 
               Bm         Em 
I'll paint the walls some more 
                 G        D 
I'm sure there's room somewhere 
              Bm        Em 
And then I'll brush and brush 
              G     D   Bm 
And brush and brush my hair 
             Em              G D    Bm 
Stuck in the same place I've always been  
              Em            D 
And I'll keep wanderin' and wanderin' 
    G             D    Bm 
And wanderin' and wonderin' 
Em            A     D 
When will my life begin?

         G 
Tomorrow night 
    D             G 
The lights will appear 
D              G        D        G        A 
Just like they do on my birthday each year 
Bm         E7 
What is it like 
A                    D7 
Out there where they glow? 
G            D 
Now that I'm older 
       G 
Mother might just 
       A 
Let me go...
