[Verse 1]
G                     G             D                  G
While I'm lying in my bed at night, I don't wanna grow up
G                     G               D                  G
Nothing ever seems to turn out right, I don't wanna grow up

Em                   Bm                  C               D
How do you move in a world of fog that's always changing things
Em                 Bm            C      D
Makes me wish that I could be a dog


[Verse 2]
G               G                   D                    G
When I see that price that you pay, I don't want to grow up
G                  G            D                  G
I don't ever wanna be that way, I don't wanna grow up

Em                   Bm                C             D
Seems that folks turn into things they never want to be
Em                Bm            C      D
The only thing to live for is today


[Verse 3]
G                G       D                  G
Put a hole in my tv set, I don't wanna grow up
G           G                  D                  G
Open up the medicine chest and I don't wanna grow up


[Chorus]
Em                    Bm
I don't wanna have to shout it out
Em                   Bm
I don't want my hair to fall out
Em               Bm
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
Em                 Bm
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
Em                  Bm
I don't wanna hafta learn to count
Em                       Bm
I don't want to have the biggest amount
   C       D            G
No I don't want to grow up

G             G              D                    G
When I see my parents fight, I don't want to grow up
G                   G                  D                  G
They all go out and drinkin all night, I don't wanna grow up


[Chorus]
Em                   Bm
I'd rather stay here in my room
Em                    Bm
Nothing out there but sad and gloom
Em                      Bm
I don't wanna live in a big ol tomb
   C     D
on Grand St.


[Verse 5]
G              G               D                  G
When I see the 5 o'clock news, I don't wanna grow up

Comb their hair and shine their shoes, I don't wanna grow up


[Chorus]
Em                Bm
Stay around in my ol hometown
Em                   Bm
I Don't wanna put no money down
Em                   Bm
Don't wanna get me a big ol loan
Em                Bm
Work them fingers to the bone
Em            Bm
I don't wanna float on a broom
Em               Bm
Fall in love get married then boom
Em                  Bm
How the hell did I get here so soon
   C       D            G
No I don't want to grow up
