if your looking for me
 E              F#
I'll be at the show
B                     E              F#
I could never find a better place to go

  C#m                     G#m7          E
Until the day I die I promise I won't change
F#
so you better give up

Chorus:
B                 C#
I don't wanna be told to grow up
E                  F#
and I don't wanna change
                   B
I just wanna have fun

so you better give up
                      F#
cause I'm not gonna change
                   B
I don't wanna grow up

I like to stay up late
Spend hours on the phone
Hanging out with all my friends
And never being at home
I'm impolite and I make fun of everyone
I'm immature, but I will stay this way forever

Until the day I die, I promise I won't change
So you better give up

Chorus

I don't wanna be told to grow up (grow up, grow up)
B                 C#                E        F#
I don't wanna be told to grow up (grow up, grow up)
B                C#
I don't wanna be told to grow up
E                   F#
and I don't wanna change

Chorus:
I just want to have fun
I don't want to be told to grow up
And I don't want to change
So you better give up
I don't want to be told to grow up
And I don't want to change
I just want to have fun
I don't want to be told to grow up
And I don't want to change
So you better give up
No I don't want to change
So you better give up
'Cause I'm not going to change
I don't want to grow up
