When I'm lyin' in my bed at night, I don't wanna grow up 
                                          
D                                      A               D 
Nothin' ever seems to turn out right, I don't wanna grow up 
Bm                   F#                 G                       A 
How do you move in a world of fog that's always changing things 
Bm                           F#                 G   A 
Makes me wish that I could be a dog 

                                          A 
D 
When I see the price that you pay I don't wanna grow up 
                                               
D                                A                  D 
I don't ever want to be that way I don't wanna grow up 
Bm                   F#                 G                       A 
Seems like folks turn into things that they'd never want 
Bm                           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 
Open up the medicine chest and I don't wanna grow up 
Bm                             F# 
I don't wanna have to shout it out  (repeat Bm F# for next section) 
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 have to learn to count 
I don't wanna have the biggest amount 
G         A                 D 
I don't wanna grow up 
                                                  
D                                A                  D 
Well when I see my parents fight I don't wanna grow up 
They all go out and drinkin' all night and I don't wanna grow up 
Bm                          F# 
I'd rather stay here in my room 
Nothin' out there but sad and gloom 
Bm                              F#                     G        A 
I don't wanna live in a big old tomb on Grant Street 
                                             
D                             A                   D 
When I see the 5 o'clock news I don't wanna grow up 
Comb their hair and shine their shoes I don't wanna grow up 
Bm                        F# 
Stay around in my old hometown 
I don't wanna put no money down 
I don't wanna get me a big old loan 
Work them fingers to the bone 
I don't wanna float a broom 
all in love and get married then boom 
How the hell did it get here so soon 
G         A                 D 
I don't wanna grow up
