Your little hand's wrapped around my finger
        F               G
And it's so quiet in the world tonight
C            C/B     Am              G
Your little eyelids flutter cause you're dreaming
     F                        G
So i tuck you in turn on your favorite nightlight

[Pre-Estribillo]
F                       Am
To you everything is funny
                         F
You got nothing to regret
                       G
I give all i have honey

If you could stay like that

Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
         F
Don't you ever grow up
         G
It could stay this simple

I won't let nobody hurt you
                              F

                          G
And no one will desert you

Just try to never grow up

You're in the car on the way to the movies
          F                    G
And you're mortified you mom's dropping you off
C      C/B             Am            G
At 14 there's just so much you can't do
             F                             G
And you can't wait to move out some day and call you own shots

[Pre-Estribillo]
F                                              Am
But don't make her drop you off around the block
                                  F
Remember that she's getting older too

And don't lose the way that you dance

Around in your pj's gettin' ready for school

Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up
         F
Don't you ever grow up
         G
It could stay this simple
F                      Am
No one's ever burned you
                          F
Nothing's ever left you scarred

Take pictures in your mind of your childhood room
F                 C                     G
Memorise what it sounded like when your dad gets home
            F                        C
Remember the footsteps, remember the words said
              G
And know your little brothers favourite songs
F                    C            G
I just realised that everything I have

Is someday gonna be gone

So here I am in my new apartment

In a big city they just dropped me off
C           C/B          Am                G
It's so much colder than i thought it would be

So I tuck myself in and turn my nightlight on
