[Verse 1]
C                                      Bb
  Before you know it, you play your last home game
           F
And you throw your cap in the sky
C                                 Bb
  Before you know it, you'll be packing your bags
               F
To leave your small town behind


[Pre-Chorus]
    Am                            F
But I've got all this wrong, baby
       C                               G
'Cause none of it will ever happen to me


[Chorus 1]
              C         Bb   F
Wish I could go back, have fun
Fm
   And grow young
C         Bb        F          G
  Whoa oh,  whoa oh,  whoa oh oh
C                 Bb                F
  I don't see the rush of growing old
                   G                    C
At what point in time does a heart go cold?
                Bb                       F
My youth was short, but it can't be done
    Fm                       C
Oh babe, I just wanna grow young
        Bb        F
Whoa oh,  whoa oh,  woah oh
 Fm
Babe, I just wanna grow young


[Verse 2]
         C                 Bb
You remember the way we laughed 'til we cried?
          F
Or how we danced like no one could see?
            C             Bb
Do you remember sneakin' out in the night
         F                  G
Being whoever we wanted to be?


[Chorus 2]
                     C         Bb   F
Oh, I wish we could go back, have fun
Fm
   And grow young
C         Bb        F          G
  Whoa oh,  whoa oh,  whoa oh oh
C                 Bb                F
  I don't see the rush of growing old
                   G                    C
At what point in time does a heart go cold?
                Bb                       F
My youth was short, but it can't be done
    Fm                       C
Oh babe, I just wanna grow young
        Bb        F
Whoa oh,  whoa oh,  woah oh
 Fm                       C
Babe, I just wanna grow young
        Bb     F   Fm
Whoa oh,  whoa oh


[Verse 3]
C                                     Bb
  Before you know it, you'll be responsible and paying taxes
F
  And paying attention to the TV
C                                Bb
  Before you know it, you'll be old and you'll be gray
           F                      Fm
And you'll wanna be a stupid teen


[Chorus 3]
                    C         Bb       F         G
You wish you could go back, have fun, go back, have fun
                       C         Bb       F
You'll wish you could go back, have fun, go back, baby
 Fm
Go back and grow young
C         Bb        F          G
  Whoa oh,  whoa oh,  whoa oh oh
C                 Bb               F
  I don't see the rush of growing old
    G                       C
Oh babe I just wanna grow young
        Bb      F   Fm
Whoa oh,  whoa oh


[Outro]
                C         Bb     F
I wish I could go back, have fun
Fm                C
   And grow young
