(Verse)
G C G
My grandpa gave me a weat penny and I kept it in my pocket
G D
I had big plans in my backyard to build me a space rocket
G C G
I talked to my brother on a fake C-P that I made from a Tic-Tac box
G D G
Packed my snowballs nice and tight and in the middle I put rocks
(Pre-chorus)
C G
Don’t trade in your Tic-Tac box for a ball on the end of a chain
G D
And don’t go spending Grandpa’s pennies buying into the game
(Chorus)
C G
You gotta keep your heart young
D B/G
Don’t go growin’ old before your time has come
C G
You can’t take back what you have done
D G
You gotta keep your heart young
(verse)
G C G
Dad took the wheels off of my bike and he pushed me down the hill
G D
But speed got the best of me and I took my first spill
G C G
That was back when alcohol was only used on cuts
G D G
Stung like hell so I shook my leg and mama said it'd give me guts
(Pre-chorus)
C G
Don’t trade in your Tic-Tac box for a ball on the end of a chain
G D
And don’t go spending Grandpa’s pennies buying into the game
(Chorus)
C G
You gotta keep your heart young
D B/G
Don’t go growing old before your time has come
C G
You can’t take back what you have done
D G
You gotta keep your heart young
(Verse)
G C G
So take a picture of the one you love and put it in a locket
G D
Go dig up your time capsule and the blueprints for your rocket
G C G
Keep in touch on a fake C-P and that same old Tic-Tac box
G D
Pack your snowballs a little less tight but in the middle still put
G
rocks
(Chorus)
C G
And keep your heart young
D B/G
Don’t go growing old before your time has come
C G
You can’t take back what you have done
D G
You gotta keep your heart young
C G
You gotta keep your heart young
D B/G
Sometimes you don’t die quick
Just like you wished you’d done
C G
Though love is a loaded gun
D G
You’ve gotta keep your heart young
C G
You can’t take back what you have done
D G
You gotta keep your heart young
