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
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
