 D             
"I'm trouble" she said 
 Bm                            D  
Spread out on the floor of her father's house
 Gm                    A 
Her promise was almost undone
 D                 Bm                    Db 
Under her tongue, dissolving her responsibilities
 Gbm              A       Gbm                   A 
To finally deny everyone with unflattering comparison

CHORUS
D         A
All grown up
        G          A
And you don't care anymore
D                    A               G       E
And you hate all the people that you used to adore
D                       A                      G            
And you despise all the rumors and lies of the life you led
E
before

    Gbm
Did I hear you right?
Gm                         A
You're feeling hounded and pushed around
    G                          E
You want to just lay down and die
   Gbm                   A                    E
If all of this life has been such a big disappointment to you
E                               G
Why don't you stop blaming some guy
E                           G
And go give the next one a try

CHORUS

But look at yourself
You'll see you're still so young
You haven't earned the weariness
That sounds so jaded on your tongue

"I'm weak" she says
And blesses herself and gets into bed
Clutching the covers to her throat
"So punish me now and let me go back to the sham of my life"
"This night is the perfect antidote for all of the poison that
you wrote"

CHORUS

Elvis Costello, Little Atoms
Little Atoms I arose and Marigold lay down with Curious Iris Cherry gave to Victor her prudence and her virus For the sake of purity I can recall the time and place Between Wisdom and Murder she gave up her immaculate face My poor belated chastity fell foul of grown up games, With false and lovely modesty I can recall the names I'll miss In the particle of me that cares for this I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss Patience has her virtue still but every grace must have its price I through some felicity may spin a tale of constant vice I took my better nature out, drowned it in the babbling stream Took the blossom of my youth and blew it all to smithereens My poor belated chastity fell foul of grown up games, With false and lovely modesty I can recall the names I'll miss In the particle of me that cares for this I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss And if you still don't like my song then you can just go to hell I don't care if I'm right or wrong or if my typewriter can spell But I cannot promise you I've said "Goodbye" to childish things There's still some pretty insults left and such sport in threatening My poor belated chastity fell foul of grown up games, With false and lovely modesty I can recall the names I'll miss In the particle of me that cares for this I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss And for the sake of clarity They are "Faith", "Hope", and "Charity" In the particle of me that cares for this I betrayed those little atoms with a kiss This video is from a guest appearance on The Larry Sanders Show
