[Verse 1]
D A D D
When I'm lyin' in my bed at night
A D
I don't wanna grow up

Nothin' ever seems to turn out right
A D
I don't wanna grow up
[Chorus]
Bm F#m
How do you move in a world of fog
G A
That's always changing things
Bm F#m G A
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
[Verse 2]
D
When I see the price that you pay
A D
I don't wanna grow up
D
I don't ever wanna be that way
A D
I don't wanna grow up
[Chorus]
Bm F#m
Seems like folks turn into things
G A
that they'd never want
Bm F#m
The only thing to live for
G A
Is today...
[Verse 3]
D
I'm gonna put a hole in my TV set
A D
I don't wanna grow up
D
Open up the medicine chest
A D
And I don't wanna grow up
[Chorus]
Bm F#m
I don't wanna have to shout it out
Bm F#m
I don't want my hair to fall out
Bm F#m
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
Bm F#m
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
Bm F#m
I don't wanna have to learn to count
Bm F#m
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
G A
I don't wanna grow up
[Verse 4]
D D
Well when I see my parents fight
A D
I don't wanna grow up

They all go out and drinking all night
A D
And I don't wanna grow up
[Chorus]
Bm F#m
I'd rather stay here in my room
Bm F#m
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
Bm F#m
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb
G A
On Grand Street
[Verse 5]
D
When I see the five o'clock news
A D
I don't wanna grow up

Comb their hair and shine their shoes
A D
I don't wanna grow up
[Chorus]
Bm F#m
Stay around in my old hometown
Bm F#m
I don't wanna put no money down
Bm F#m
I don't wanna get me a big old loan
Bm F#m
Work them fingers to the bone
Bm F#m
I don't wanna float a broom
Bm F#m
Fall in love and get married then boom
Bm F#m
How the hell did it get here so soon
G A D
I don't wanna grow up
