D                                  A                  D
When I'm lyin' in my bed at night, I don't wanna grow up
D                                     A                  D
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right, I don't wanna grow up
Bm                   F#                  G             A
How do you move in a world of fog that's always changing things
Bm                 F#           G A
Makes me wish that I could be a dog

[Verse 2]
D                                  A                  D
When I see the price that you pay, I don't wanna grow up
D                                 A                  D
I don't ever want to be that way, I don't wanna grow up
Bm                    F#                      G     A
Seems like folks turn into things that they'd never want
Bm                F#          G  A
The only thing to live for is today

[Chorus 1] 
          D                        A                  D
I'm gonna put a hole in my tv set, I don't wanna grow up
D                               A                  D
Open up the medicine chest, and I don't wanna grow up
Bm                    F#
I don't wanna have to shout it out
Bm              F#
I don't want my hair to fall out
Bm               F#
I don't wanna be filled with doubt
Bm                 F#
I don't wanna be a good boy scout
Bm                    F#
I don't wanna have to learn to count
Bm                     F#
I don't wanna have the biggest amount
G       A          D
I don't wanna grow up

[Verse 3] 
     D                           A                  D
Well when I see my parents fight I don't wanna grow up
D                                          A                  D
They all go out and drinkin' all night and I don't wanna grow up
Bm                   F#
I'd rather stay here in my room
Bm                    F#
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom
Bm                              F#      G     A
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on Grant Street

[Chorus 2]
D                             A                  D
When I see the 5 o'clock news I don't wanna grow up
D                                      A                  D
Comb their hair and shine their shoes; I don't wanna grow up
Bm                F#
Stay around in my old hometown;
Bm                   F#
I don't wanna put no money down;
Bm                     F#
I don't wanna get me a big old loan;
Bm                F#
Work them fingers to the bone;
Bm            F#
I don't wanna float a broom;
Bm                   F#
Fall in love and get married then boom;
Bm                  F#
How the hell did it get here so soon?
G       A          D
I don't wanna grow up
