[D]                                    [A]                  [D]
While I'm lying in my bed at night   I don't wanna grow up
[D]                                    [A]                  [D]

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]                    [D]
When I see that price that you pay I don't want to grow up

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]                  [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

[B]                [F#]                 [B]                  [F#]
I don't wanna be filled with doubt  I don't wanna be a good boy scout
[B]                   [F#]              [B]                [F#]
