D While I'm lying in my bed at night, A D I don't wanna grow up Nothing ever seems to turn out right, I don't wanna grow up Bm F#m How do you move in a world of fog that's G A 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 Chorus: Bm F#m I don't want to have to shout it out I don't want my hair to fall out I don't want to be filled with doubt I don't want to be a good boy scout I don't want to have to learn to count I don't want to have the biggest amount G A D No I don't want to grow up Well, when I see my parents fight I don't want to grow up They all go out and drinking all night And I don't want to grow up I'd rather stay here in my room Nothing out there but sad and gloom I don't want to live in a big old tomb on Grand Street When I see the 5 o'clock news I don't want to grow up Comb their hair and shine their shoes I don't wanna grow up Chorus: Stay around in my old hometown I don't want to put no money down I don't want to get a big old loan Work them fingers to the bone I don't want to float on a broom Fall in love, get married then boom How the hell did it get here so soon No, I don't want to grow up You can simplify chords by removing barre | TransposeReset Font SizeReset Guitar Chord DiagramsA D F#m G Bm Here you can see detailed diagrams for each guitar chord used in the song.
