Capo 3
 
[Intro/ Breaks]
C G Em C
 
[Verse 1]
C                                     G
Poor little rose, beaten by the rain
       Em                                      C
In the wind, in the gale, thunder and the hail
C                                       G
Sometimes I feel like I'm going insane
            Em
Without the numbness or the pain, so intense to feel
D
Especially now it added up through the years
 
[Chorus 1]
    C           G             D     C
And I, I taught myself how to grow
            G                   D             C
Without any love, and there was poison in the rain
         G            D
I taught myself how to grow
         Am
Now, I'm crooked on the outside
        C
And the inside's broke
 
[Verse 2]
C                                       G
Most of the time, I got nothing to say
       Em                                                    C
When I do, it's nothing, and nobody's there to listen anyway
C                                        G
I know I'm probably better off this way
       Em
I just listen to the voices on the TV 'til I'm tired
       D
And my eyes grow heavy, and I fade away
 
[Chorus 2]
       C           G             D     C
'Cause I, I taught myself how to grow
            G                   D             C
Without any love, and there was poison in the rain
         G             D
I taught myself how to grow
           Am                      C
'Til I was crooked on the outside
         G             D     C
I taught myself how to grow
            G                   D             C
Without any love, and there was poison in the rain
         G             D
I taught myself how to grow
           Am
'Til I was crooked on the outside, inside's caved
C
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
Am                                      C
Crooked on the outside, inside's caved
         D                  C
I taught myself how to grow old

Good job. I think it might just be the way I'm playing it, but I'm skipping over that "C" chord at the end of the first line of the chorus. It sounds fine to me without it, and if I leave it in I end up rushing it and screwing up the next line. Anyway, nice work.
