[Verse 1]
E F F#dim
I won't grow up
Gm7 C7
I don't wanna go to school
Gm7 C7
Just to learn to be a puppet
F F7
And recite a silly rule
[Chorus 1]
Bb Bbmin6
If growing up means it would be
Dm Dm7 D7
Beneath my dignity to climb a tree
Bm7b5 Bbm6 C7
I won't grow up, won't grow up, won't grow up
F
Not me
[Verse 2]
E F F#dim
I won't grow up
Gm7 C7
I don't wanna wear a tie
Gm7 C7
Or a serious expression
F F7
In the middle of July
[Chorus 2]
Bb Bbmin6
And if it means that I must prepare
Dm Dm7 D7
To shoulder burdens with a worried air
Bm7b5 Bbm6 C7
I'll never grow up, won't grow up, never grow up
F
So there
[Bridge]
Bb
Never gonna be a man
C7#5 F
I won't!
Bb
Like to see somebody try
C7#5 F
And make me!
Bbm6
Anyone who wants to try
Dm Dm7 Gm7
And make me turn into a man
C7 C7#5
Catch me if you can
[Verse 3]
E F F#dim
I won't grow up
Gm7 C7
I don't wanna wear a tie
Gm7 C7
Or a serious expression
F F7
In the middle of July
[Chorus 3]
Bb Bbmin6
Growing up's awfuller than
Dm Dm7 D7
All the awful things that never been
Bm7b5 Bbm6 C7
I won't grow up, won't grow up, won't grow up
F
Again
[Chorus 4]
Bb Bbmin6
Growing up's awfuller than
Dm Dm7 D7
All the awful things that never been
Bm7b5 Bbm6 C7
I won't grow up, won't grow up, won't grow up
F
Again
[Refrain]
C7#5 F
Not me
C7#5 F
Not I
