Intro 1
[Electronic drums]
(A minor) (A minor) (A minor) (A minor)
Verse 1
(D minor) Since I was very young I've realised
(A minor) I never wanted to be human size
(C major) So I avoid the crowds and traffic jams
(F major) They just remind me of how small I am
(D minor) Because of this longing in my heart
(A minor) I'm going to start the growing art
(C major) I'm going to grow now and never stop
(F major) Think like a mountain, grow to the top
