F Am G G
F Am G G


[Verse 1]
F
  18 comin' on fast
Am
  I'm trying' to make 17 last
G
  Everybody's impatient to have a beer
G
In a bar instead of sipping' in a basement
F
  Some of us are college bound
Am
  Some of us can't dig our roots out
G
  Scholarships and Ivy Leagues
        N.C.
Swing a hammer for your daddy and you never leave


[Chorus]
F
  I hope we never change
Am
Scribble it on that yearbook page
G
  So cool with a fake ID
G
Pretty soon it won't mean a thing
F                           Am              G
  Someday we're gonna wanna do all this all over
            N.C.
We're gonna wish we grew up slower


[Verse 2]
F
Quarter backs and homecoming queens
Am
  Cool kids and wannabes
G
  Prom nights and limousines
G
We're gonna miss the times like these
F
People still talk about the good old days
      Am
Hell, they probably kill just to be our age
G
  And you know we can't turn back time
G
So, let’s live it right


[Chorus]
F
  I hope we never change
Am
Scribble it on that yearbook page
G
  So cool with a fake ID
G
Pretty soon it won't mean a thing
F                           Am              G
  Someday we're gonna wanna do all this all over
                                F
We're gonna wish we grew up slower


[Verse 3]
F
Live it up up up
Am
  Hey no need to rush
G                 N.C.
  We'll get there and let's enjoy the moment
N.C.
And lay back in it like the Mississippi Rolland

[Chorus]
F
  I hope we never change
Am
Scribble it on that yearbook page
G
  So cool with a fake ID
N.C.                        F
Pretty soon it won't mean a thing
F                         Am              G
Someday we're gonna wanna do all this all over
                                F
We're gonna wish we grew up slower

[Outro]
                    Am
Yeah we grew up slower
                    G
Yeah we grew up slower
        F
Grew up slower (live it up up up)
Am             G
  Oooh live it up
G                          F Am G  G F Am G
We're gonna wanna do (ohhh)
