Gary Valenciano

   Intro: G-D/F#-Em-Bm7-C-Bm7-Em-Am-D7-


  G                               C
   Here's to the old times and the best of new ones
  G                     Em
   Here's to a song of glee
  Bm                       Em              Am-D7
   Finding our way from illusions to realities
  G                    C
   Hoping to wake up from this madness
  G                   Em
   Hoping to see you smile
  Bm                      Em                  Am-D7
   Pushing our way to the limit of yours and mine

Chorus
               C           Bm7
   I'm growing up, getting down
                C               Bm7
   Putting my both feet on the ground
         Am             C
   With all my friends behind me
   Am             C        D7
   How can I go wrong this time
               C           Bm7
   I'm growing up, getting down
              C           Bm7
   Think of reality came around
               Am             C
   Not just waiting for the daybreak
     Am          C       D7
   Expecting the sun to shine
       D7                    (G)
   It doesn't shine all the time

Interlude: G-D/F#-Em-Bm7-C-Bm7-Em-Am-D7-


  G                  C
   Falling in love, falling apart
        G                      Em
   You think its the end of the line
     Bm7                      Em                     Am-D7
   Holding hand while crying, then you'll feel just fine
             G                      C
   If you're thinking that you're the only one
           G                           Em
   Well, take a look around and you'll find
  Bm7                       Em
   I'll be there where you are
                   Am-D7
   Then and now, I say

(Repeat Chorus)

(Repeat Verse 1)

(Repeat Chorus)

About the artist behind Growing Up:

Edgardo Jose Martin Santiago Valenciano, better known as simply Gary Valenciano (shortened to Gary V.), is a Filipino musician, composer, actor, producer, and gospel singer who is best known for many songs, especially those that became theme songs for movies. His energetic dance moves also garnered him the nickname "Mr. Pure Energy."

Born in the suburb of Santa Mesa in Manila on August 6, 1964, he is the sixth of Vicente Valenciano and Grimilda Santiago Ortiz’s seven children. Santiago Ortiz is a Puerto Rican woman of Italian descent who became a popular opera singer in Manila during the 1960s, and her love for music passed down to her son, Gary. He took his primary and secondary studies in La Salle Greenhills. It was during his high school days, while on a brief stint with the musical group Kundirana, that he devoted himself to music.

He first appeared as a solo in a television show called The Pilita and Jackie Show in 1982, but he was finally noticed after his performances in the TV shows Germspesyal and Penthouse Live. He had his first solo concert, in April 1984, inside the jam-packed Araneta Coliseum. That would be followed by 21 albums, three of them released internationally, including a Christian inspired album called Out of the Dark.

He is married to Maria Anna Elizabeth "Angeli" Evangelista Pangilinan, with whom he has three children: Juan Paolo Martin (a vocalist of the band Salamin), Jose Angelo Gabriel (a dancer), and Kristina Maria Mikaela.
