D                                    A
While I'm lying in my bed at night   I don't wanna grow up
Nothing ever seems to turn out right I don't wanna grow up
B                    F#                  G               A
How do you move in a world of fog that's always changing things
B                  F#      G    A
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
D                                  A
When I see that price that you pay I don't want to grow up
I don't ever wanna be that way I don't wanna grow up
B                     F#               G             A
Seems that folks turn into things they never want to be
B                 F#          G  A
The only thing to live for is today
D                                  A
I'm gonna put a hole in my tv set  I don't wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest and     I don't wanna grow up
B                     F#            B                F#
I don't wanna have to shout it out  I don`t want my hair to fall out
I don't wanna be filled with doubt  I don't wanna be a good boy scout
I don't wanna hafta learn to count  I don't want the biggest amount
   G       A            D
No I don't want to grow up

D                                     A
When I see my parents fight           I don't want to grow up
They all go out and drinkin all night I don't wanna grow up
B                    F#          B                     F#
I'd rather stay here in my room  Nothing out there but sad and gloom
B                       F#             G     A
I don't wanna live in a big ol tomb on Grand St.
D                                     A
When I see the 5 0' clock news        I don't wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes I don't wanna grow up
Stay around in my ol hometown  Don't wanna put no money down
B                 F#            B                 F#
Don't wanna get a big ol loan   Work them fingers to the bone
I dont' wanna float on a broom  Fall in love get married then boom
how the hell did it get here so soon
   G       A            D
No I don't want to grow up
