Verso
C           C/B             Am  
Your little hand's wrapped 
      G
around my finger
        F               G
And it's so quiet in the world 
tonight
C            C/B     Am         
Your little eyelids flutter 
     G
cause you're dreaming
     F                       
So i tuck you in turn on your 
 G
favorite nightlight

[Pre-Chorus]
F                       Am
To you everything is funny
                         F
You got nothing to regret
                       G
I give all i have honey

If you could stay like that

[Bridge]
C    C/B            Am        G
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
         F
Don't you ever grow up
     G
Just stay this little
C    C/B            Am        G
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
         F
Don't you ever grow up
         G
It could stay this simple
           F              Am
I won't let nobody hurt you
                              F
Won't let no one break you heart
                          G
And no one will desert you

Just try to never grow up

( C  C/B  Am  G )

F    G
(Yeah, never grow up.)

Verso
C            C/B       Am       
You're in the car on the way to 
    G
the movies
Continues after the ad
          F                   
And you're mortified you mom's 
 G
dropping you off
C      C/B             Am       
At 14 there's just so much you 
     G
can't do
             F                     
And you can't wait to move out some
        G
 day and call you own shots

[Pre-Chorus]
F                             
But don't make her drop you off 
                 Am
around the block
Remember that she's getting older 
F
too

And don't lose the way that you 
dance
 G
Around in your pj's gettin' ready 
for school

[Chorus]
C       C/B            Am        G
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
          F
Don't you ever grow up
     G
Just stay this little
C    C/B               Am        G
Oh, darlin', don't you ever grow up
         F
Don't you ever grow up
         G
It could stay this simple
F                      Am
No one's ever burned you
                          F
Nothing's ever left you scarred
                            G
And even though you want to

Just try to never grow up

[Bridge]
F                    C           
Take pictures in your mind of 
            G
your childhood room
F                 C              
Memorise what it sounded like 
       G
when your dad gets home
            F                      
Remember the footsteps, remember 
  C
the words said
              G
And know your little brothers 
favourite songs
F                    C            
I just realised that everything I 
G
have

Is someday gonna be gone

Verso
C         C/B     Am      G
So here I am in my new apartment
     F                  G
In a big city they just dropped me 
off
C           C/B          Am     
It's so much colder than i 
           G
thought it would be
      F                        
So I tuck myself in and turn my 
 G
nightlight on

[Pre-Chorus]
F  C  G
...Wish I'd never grown up
F  C  G
Wish I'd never grown up

[Chorus]
C C/B     Am         G
Oh I dont wanna grow up
         F
Wish I'd never grown up
         G
I could still be little
C C/B     Am          G
Oh I dont wanna grow up
         F
Wish I'd never grown up
          G
It could still be simple

C    C/B            Am        G
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
         F
Dont you ever grow up
     G
Just stay this little
C    C/B            Am        G
Oh, darling, don't you ever grow up
         F
Don't you ever grow up
         G
It could stay this simple
C C/B      Am         G        F
    I won't let nobody hurt you
           G                   C C/B
Won't let no one break you heart
    Am              G      F
And even though you want to
              G
Please try to never grow up
