D                                 
While I'm lying in my bed at 
    A                D
night, I don't wanna grow up
 D                            
Nothing ever seems to turn out 
          A                  D
right, I don't wanna grow up

   Bm                   F#m       
   How do you move in a world of 
          G               A
fog that's always changing things
    Bm                   F#m

 dog

D                                 
When I see that price that you

pay, I don't want to grow up
 D

    A              D
don't wanna grow up

   Bm                   F#m       
   Seems that folks turn into 
          G        A
things they never want to be
    Bm                   F#m   
   The only thing to live for is 
             G         A
today

D                                  
I'm gonna put a hole in my tv set, 
A                   D
