[Verse 1]
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/F#           E7       A
Sweep again, and by then it's like seven fifteen


[Chorus]
            D      G
And so I'll read a book
         Em     D
Or maybe two or three
           Bm      E7              G    D
I'll add a few new paintings to my gallery
             Bm      E7
I'll play guitar and knit
             G F#7  Bm
And cook and basically
            E7sus4       A      D
Just wonder when will my life begin?

[Verse 2]
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/F#           E7
Then I'll stretch, maybe sketch, take a climb
      A
Sew a dress!


[Chorus]
         D           G
And I'll re-read the books
          Em      D
If I have time to spare
               Bm         E7
I'll paint the walls some more
                 G        D
I'm sure there's room somewhere
              Bm        E7
And then I'll brush and brush
              G      F#7 Bm
And brush and brush my hair
             E7sus4          G F#m Bm
Stuck in the same place I've always been


[Post-Chorus]
              Em            D/F#
And I'll keep wonderin' and wonderin'
    G             D/F# B7
And wonderin' and wonderin'
E7           Asus4  D
When will my life begin?


[Outro]
         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
    G                D7
Out there where they glow?
G            D
Now that I'm older
       G
Mother might just
       Asus4     A
Let me go...
