Em          D      C      D      Em D C  D
I want to climb inside a work of art
Em         D    C       D         Em        D
I want to get away from all your comments that
     C    Bm
are barbed

Chorus:
C                  D            Em   D
And just because you're getting older
Am7         Bm                  Em   D
It doesn't mean you're getting clever
C           D                    Em        D
And just because you've got the high ground
Am7         Bm                 Em       D
It doesn't mean you're at the fairground

And just because you're ground down to a halt
It doesn't mean you have to throw the
Stone you always hold

Chorus:
And just because you're getting older
It doesn't mean you're getting wiser
And just because you've got the high ground
It doesn't mean you have the most fun

I want to hide inside a piece of you
(I want to hide inside a piece of you)
Cause in the longest run
I am your mother and your child

Chorus:
Beaten by the force that assails you
Your so-called friends have surely failed you
So come back from the edge of crazy
And come back from the edge of envy
