I DON'T WANT TO GROW UP

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
   Makes me wish that I could be a dog


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

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

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#           
      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 ] x2    
 
[ B  F#  G  A ] x2 


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#          
      I'd rather stay here in my room  
      Nothing out there but sad and gloom
      I don't wanna live in a big ol tomb 
         G     A
      on Grand St.


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


      B                 F#            
      Stay around in my ol hometown          
      Don't wanna put no money down
      Don't wanna get a big ol loan   
      Work them fingers to the bone
      I don't 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
