Verse 1:
 
D                                     A
Poor little rose, beaten by the rain
       F#m                                      D
In the wind, in the gale, thunder and the hail
D                                       A
Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane
            F#m
Without the numbness or the pain, so intense to feel
E
Especially now it added up through the years
 
 
Chorus 1:
 
    D           A             E     D
And I, I taught myself how to grow
            A                   E             D
Without any love, and there was poison in the rain
         A             E
I taught myself how to grow
         Bm
Now, I'm crooked on the outside
        D
And the inside's broke
 
 
Verse 2:
 
D                                       A
Most of the time, I got nothing to say
       F#m                                                    D
When I do, it's nothing, and nobody's there to listen anyway
D                                        A
I know I'm probably better off this way
       F#m
I just listen to the voices on the TV 'til I'm tired
       E
And my eyes grow heavy, and I fade away
 
 
Chorus 2:
 
       D           A             E     D
'Cause I, I taught myself how to grow
            A                   E             D
Without any love, and there was poison in the rain
         A             E
I taught myself how to grow
           Bm                      D
'Til I was crooked on the outside
         A             E     D
I taught myself how to grow
            A                   E             D
Without any love, and there was poison in the rain
         A             E
I taught myself how to grow
           Bm
'Til I was crooked on the outside, inside's caved
D
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
Bm                                      D
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
         E                  D
I taught myself how to grow old
