E               G
What a nice day to go out and play
D               A
With some friends
E               G
Round and round without a sound
D           A
Until the end
E               G
What a day well have it your way
D               A
Remember tomorrow
E      G
Oh boy what a joy
D              A
where is sorrow?

CHORUS
Dmaj7                   F#maj7
I don't want to grow up now
Dmaj7                      F#maj7
I don't want to think about it
Dmaj7                 F#maj7
Hold on to my childhood
Dmaj7            F#maj7
Hold on to my God

v2
so young and so much fun
i kiss the ground
so high on life
bring me down
the cure for the future
innocence
the cost ignorance lost
ignorance

v3
an adult another result
of fortune and fame
too smart for my heart
knowledge is pain
i have a brain it's not the same
where's my youth
abused and so confused
i know not what to do

v4
my way's been paved
an open heart
i must focus
it's time to start
the way the truth
the life
obedience is the price
to following Christ

	Notes: i didn't tab all the solos, because i don't know them, and
besides, it's a lot more fun to improv your own. this is a good "jam with your
buddies" song.
