Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Electronic drums]
[Am][Am][Am][Am]

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

[Chorus 1]
[C]Tall, tall, tall, I want to be [Am]tall, tall, tall
As big as a [Dm]wall, wall, wall
As big as a [G]wall, wall, wall
And [F]if I'm not [C]tall, tall, tall
Then I will [Am]crawl, crawl, crawl
Because I'm not [Dm]tall, tall, tall, tall
[G]tall, tall, tall, [F]tall
[C]Tall, tall, tall, I want to be [Am]tall, tall, tall
As big as a [Dm]wall, wall, wall
As big as a [G]wall, wall, wall
And [F]if I'm not [C]tall, tall, tall
Then I will [Am]crawl, crawl, crawl
Because I'm not [Dm]tall, tall, tall, tall
[G]tall, tall, tall, [F]tall

[Verse 2]
[Dm]WIth concentration
[Am]My size increased
[C]And now I'm fourteen stories high
(at [F]least)
[Dm]Empire State Human
[Am]just a born kid
[C]I'll go to Egypt to be
[F]The pyramids

[Chorus 2]
[C]Tall, tall, tall, I want to be [Am]tall, tall, tall
As big as a [Dm]wall, wall, wall
As big as a [G]wall, wall, wall
And [F]if I'm not [C]tall, tall, tall
Then I will [Am]crawl, crawl, crawl
Because I'm not [Dm]tall, tall, tall, tall
[G]tall, tall, tall, [F]tall
[C]Tall, tall, tall, I want to be [Am]tall, tall, tall
As big as a [Dm]wall, wall, wall
As big as a [G]wall, wall, wall
And [F]if I'm not [C]tall, tall, tall
Then I will [Am]crawl, crawl, crawl
Because I'm not [Dm]tall, tall, tall, tall
[G]tall, tall, tall, [F]tall

[Interlude 1]
[C]Brick by brick, [Am]stone by stone
[Dm]Growing till he's [Gsus4]fully gro[F]wn
[C]Brick by brick, [Am]stone by stone
[Dm]Growing till he's [G]fully [F]grown

[Chorus 3]
[C]Tall, tall, tall, I want to be [Am]tall, tall, tall
As big as a [Dm]wall, wall, wall
As big as a [G]wall, wall, wall
And [F]if I'm not [C]tall, tall, tall
Then I will [Am]crawl, crawl, crawl
Because I'm not [Dm]tall, tall, tall, tall
[G]tall, tall, tall, [F]tall
[C]Tall, tall, tall, I want to be [Am]tall, tall, tall
As big as a [Dm]wall, wall, wall
As big as a [G]wall, wall, wall
And [F]if I'm not [C]tall, tall, tall
Then I will [Am]crawl, crawl, crawl
Because I'm not [Dm]tall, tall, tall, tall
[G]tall, tall, tall, [F]tall
