D                            Gm
I stopped talking when I was six years

 Old
D
I didn't want anything more to do with
     Gm
 The outside world
  D
I was happy being quiet
Gm
But, of course, they wouldn't leave me
  C    A
 Alone
D                      Gm
My parents tried every trick in the

Book
     D
From speech therapists to child
    Gm
Psychologists
                      D
They even tried bribery
                       Gm
I could have anything
                              C  A

[Segunda Parte]

D                             Gm
Of course this episode didn't last

Forever
D
I'd made my point and it was time to
     Gm
Move on
D                                Gm
To peel away the next layer of deceit
                           C
And see what new surprises lay in
      A
Store
D                       Gm
My school report said I showed no

Interest
D
"A disruptive influence"
Gm
I felt sorry for them in a way
D                       Gm
And when they finally expelled me
          C              A
It didn't mean a thing

D
At that time she stopped what she was

Doing, she stopped playing
D
She stared, she had the facial

Grimacing
D
And then the psychiatrist was saying
D
"Julie, Julie, can you hear me? Can

You open your eyes?"
D
"Can you stick out your tongue?"
D
And all of a sudden, Julie struck out

[Terceira Parte]

D                       Gm
The November day I came home

The Christmas decorations were already
 D
 Up
              Gm
Spray on snow, colored flashing lights
    D
And an artificial tree that played
       Gm
Silent Night
                  C  A
Over and over again
D                           Gm
My parents welcomed me with loving

Arms
              D
But within an hour were back at each
             Gm
Others throats
                  D
Normal, happy childhood back on course
                Gm    C A
