 I Don't Want To Grow Up
 -----------------------
  
 intro:   D
  
 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
  
  
 solo:   D  A  D  A  B  F#  G  A  B  F#  G  A
  
 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
  
 D
